Rangers haven't folded yet.

I'd pissed off I don't have anything to complain about.

Half hour until we see the list!

Flyers exist still...

Brother Bulliesphan doesn't visit anymore...

And I havn't won the lottery without buying a ticket, jeez.

Seattle may build a serious contender. Some of these names I'm seeing are crazy.

I don't like the deal... I get the concept of 'get something instead of lose for nothing'... but you are telling me there wasn't any teams willing to pay more?

Or just do the simple thing, that apparently Hextall refuses to do... Float a 2nd or 3rd round pick to Seattle to make them take Zucker.

Maybe they don't want Zucker. Hell, most people on this board don't want him.

As far as the return for McCaan... I would say the situation is driving the bus. If it were TDL or a normal situation, sure they could have gotten more. In a situation where teams want to protect their own players, that's McCaans value at this time.

Tampa has only protected four forwards: Stamkos, Point, Kuch and Cirelli.

Isles exposing Eberle and Bailey.

This is why I don't think it's a given Zucker gets selected. They may have better ways to spend on $5M+ forwards.

BREAKING: Carey Price, Vladimir Tarasenko, Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan Johansen, Mark Giordano, Jonathan Drouin, Yanni Gourde, Tyler Johnson, Jason Zucker, Jared McCann and Kaapo Kahkonen are among those players who have been exposed ahead of the expansion draft.

Nuts.

The Matheson protection shocks me, but everything else seems to be what we expected.

Pens trade McCann for a prospect and Toronto doesn't even protect him?

I think they take Tanev or Pettersson.

Tanev would be a crowd favorite. It would make sense purely for just marketing reasons IMO.

Also, did you see Ottawa exposed Murray?

I didn't, but I'm not shocked. They know there's zero chance Seattle takes him. Price will be a Kraken.

LOL... Something tells me Francis won't go in that direction.

Official list out yet?!

I would love that, just for the madness.

I would hope not.

Lol @ Tanev exposed.

Matheson? Really?
- 668710

Yup. The list I posted is official.

I think Pettersson gets taken. Too many better forwards available than Zucker for the money.

Nuts.
- Rinosaur

All those were pretty foregone conclusions already but price was a surprise. I hope they choose someone from Colorado then sign landeskog a month from now as a ufa haha

Lol @ Tanev exposed.
- j.boyd919

I don't think he gets selected. Seattle doesn't need to take on any bloated salaries for bottom six forwards given the choice they will have. They can really be selective and find guys like him for cheaper.

The more I think about it, the more I now think it's Pettersson or DeSmith. Seattle has to choose three goalies and DeSmith will be one of the better back-up/third string for the money.
