Hearing that Seattle passed on Jake Bean and instead chose Morgan Geekie from Carolina

The #SeaKraken are clearly prioritizing defencemen with these expansion selections. They have their sights set on Jeremy Lauzon in Boston.

Sources say the Kraken have taken defenseman Carson Soucy from the #mnwild.

Wild's top-5 D is now a top-3 of Brodin-Spurgeon-Dumba. Wild will need at least 3 NHL defensemen in free agency, plus a depth guy IMO, to push Calen Addison.

Theyre going ham on defense. They definitely gonna make some trades.

Mild surprise from #CBJ. The pick is not Max Domi.

#SeaKraken will be selecting D Gavin Bayreuther from Columbus.

Have to imagine CAR greased them to not take him. Otherwise I don't understand that one.

Didn't take Domi from Columbus either. Chaos in 24 hours!

Eventually we'll find out who traded assets to them to take (or avoid) specific players. I suspect CBJ will be one of those teams. They have three first round picks.

so basically there's no point in watching tonight

24 of 30 teams:
BOS Lauzon
CAR Geekie
CGY Giordano
CBJ Bayreuther
COL Donskoi
DAL Oleksiak
EDM Larsson
FLA Driedger
LA MacDermid
MIN Soucy
MTL Fleury
NSH Jarnkrok
NJ Bastian
NYI Eberle
OTT Daccord
PHI Twarynski
PIT Tanev
STL Dunn

Of course the Rangers player isn’t going to be leaked

luckily we put ourselves in a position where it's largely inconsequential to us

so we still don't know if some of these teams made a side deal to make the Kraken to take some of those names, that's the only intriguing thing

thats not gonna get me to tune in and watch, maybe some might but the casual folks interested in this wont tune in either imo.

and who knows, that stuff will prob leak around 5 anyway at this rate.

tune in now to watch macklemore catch a fish with someones name on the side of it!!

Based on what’s been taken, my guess is Blackwell. Scoring winger that gives effort and isn’t a project like Gauthier

You asked and I said we would know it all before 8pm lol
