Thanks to everyone who has gotten back to me so far on which team they would like to represent for our first Seattle Expansion Draft. I've also enjoyed listening to people offer their own ideas and thoughts on the process.
One idea that kept popping up was to have more than one person for each team offer their draft lists as there will likely be some differences of opinions on who to keep. It's something I will absolutely consider for future expansion drafts (we will be doing a couple of these) but for this first one I am going to keep it to one person per team. As a compromise, I will add a poll at the bottom of each blog so that people can vote on whether or not they agree with the list that was presented.
Here are the people I have locked in so far for the Draft:
ANAHEIM DUCKS ARIZONA COYOTES - Dahlmanyotes BOSTON BRUINS BUFFALO SABRES - KilkennyDan CALGARY FLAMES – RedC21 CAROLINA HURRICANES CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS – Theo Fox - Blackhawks Blogger COLORADO AVALANCHE– goavsgo10 COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS– General Mokus DALLAS STARS DETROIT RED WINGS – Feds91Stammer EDMONTON OILERS FLORIDA PANTHERS LA KINGS – tkecanuck341 MINNESOTA WILD MONTREAL CANADIENS NASHVILLE PREDATORS NEW JERSEY DEVILS – Bragg18 NEW YORK ISLANDERS NEW YORK RANGERS OTTAWA SENATORS - MarkStoned PHILEDELPHIA FLYERS – jmatchett383 PITTSBURGH PENGUINS - MacPatty SAN JOSE SHARKS ST LOUIS BLUES TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS – aries1976 VANCOUVER CANUCKS – optimus-reim WASHINGTON CAPITALS WINNIPEG JETS – TheUltimateJet

Plenty of teams are still available. I know many of you are visitors of a number of blogs on this site (as you should because the writers here are great) and I would ask you all to go to the comment sections of these available teams and drag them over here. There is plenty of room available on the TentaClan bandwagon.
One extra area of note. If there are certain players that will be UFA at the end of this coming season, you may keep them on your protect list.
Happy Monday and thanks for reading!
