 What's up everyone? Take down here. Welcome back to another video. Today I am really excited because we're going to be talking about the 2021 NHL expansion draft for Seattle Kraken. Now for today's video, I'm going to be talking about who I think each team is going to protect and I'll show you guys on the screen exactly who each team is going to protect for my predictions. Now I also want to mention before I share with you the picks for each team of who I think they're going to protect that some players might not be part of that team anymore. Of course we have trades and the free agency and everything like that. So some of the players that I talk about in this video or show that I think team by team will protect might no longer be with that team. Of course the expansion draft is after this season and I wanted this video to come out before the season ends. So let's get right into this. Up first for the Anaheim Ducks. There is a lot of great players that I thought could be protected but right now Ryan Getzlav is the top one in my opinion that should be protected. Ryan Getzlav, Adam Henrique, Jacob Silverberg, those are the main ones for me. Next up for the Arizona Coyotes. We have a lot of great players but up first for the No Move Claws we have Phil Kessel and Oliver Ekman Larson. Of course I'm a huge fan of Clayton Keller, a $7 million cap hit but somebody that is clear and already signed up until 2028. I think that to me is a great thing. These are some of the other players that I think Arizona Coyotes are going to protect. For Boston we have three players with the No Move Claws. We have Patris Bergeron, Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle. I think they're also going to save Pasternak and possibly Charlie McAvoy just because I think those are key players and of course Tuka Rask, even though there was discussion of him not finishing out last season and being with family because of COVID-19, I thought that was a fair thing for him to do anyways but I honestly think that they might save him because he still could be an elite goalie moving forward for Boston. Next up for the Buffalo Sabres. I'm going to say Jack Eichel. Of course the captain is going to be saved a $10 million hit. We also have a No Move Claws for Jeff Skinner but I think he'd be saved anyways. Taylor Hall recently signed with them so I of course think they're going to save him. I think that is three top players that I can't see them even thinking about getting rid of. A lot of great players for the Buffalo Sabres but these are the ones in total that I think they are going to save. Calgary Flames does have a lots of players and I really wish they were a bigger force to reckon with. We have Matthew Kachuk, we have Johnny Goodrow, Sean Monahan, Giudano, Hanna Finn who are huge fans of them as well and we have Mark Strum with the No Move Claws for goalie so a lot of great players but those were easy decisions for me but these are the rest of the players that I think they are going to protect. Moving on to Carolina Hurricanes. Still some pretty decent players. We have Dougie Hamilton who I'm a huge fan of, Sebastian Ajo and a lot of other players that I think will be great for Carolina moving forward. I just don't know and of course Vincent Trocheck. I am happier with him on the Hurricanes but I did like him on Florida Panthers but I think he's somebody that else is going to be protected as well. Chicago has a fair amount of No Move Claws so we have Patrick Kane, Jonathan Taze, Brent Seabook and Duncan Heath with No Move Claws. We also have Alex Debrinkitz and a bunch of other players. I decided to go with Lucas Walmart even though he's new to the team. I think that he's somebody that's could improve enough that's to be worth a save so that's why I decided to protect him. Next up for Colorado Avalanche. I decided not to save Tyson Jost just because I think that somebody that Seattle could definitely use and I think he'd be a bigger part of an organization if he went there. Nathan McKinnon in my opinion is a must. He's definitely going to be saved. There's no question there but these are the other players I think they're going to save. Next for Columbus Bluejackets. I'm not a huge fan of Columbus but I do respect their players and they do have a lot of great players that I think they're going to save. Up first, Max Domi. I definitely think they're going to save him. No questions about that. All in all I think those are the players that are going to be saved and I can't wait to see what Columbus does this season. I just wish they had a better goalie in my opinion. Now for Dallas Stars there's three No Move Clauses so Tyler Sagan, Jamie Ben and Alexander Radilov. I also think that they're going to save Joe Pavelski because I think he's doing in my opinion at least my eyes a little bit better on Dallas Stars than he was on the Sharks and I think in my opinion he's a little happier which is awesome and we also have a No Move Clause for the goalie for Ben Bishop but I think they're definitely going to save him regardless. Moving on to the Detroit Red Wings. We have Dylan Larkin which I think is a must. Mark Stahl which I think is a must. We have a few other players as well but definitely somebody that I think they will be saving and I can't wait to see what does happen but these are the players that I think that's Detroit will be saving. For Edmonton Oilers there's no doubt in my mind Conor McDavid is going to be saved even though they have a 12.5 million dollar salary hit each year for him. He's a top player and I think he could definitely do great moving forward. Leon, Ryan Newjigan-Hopsons, James Neal. I decided to pick him just because I think he could improve while there and that's why I decided to pick him. Adam Larson, Oscar Clefbaum, Darnell Nurse. I think they have a lot of great players. I can't wait to see what they do this year. For the Florida Panthers Jonathan Hubero and Sergey Barovsky have no move clauses as well as Keith Yandle. I think they're definitely ones that are worth saving regardless. We have Eckblad and Strollman that I think are going to be saved. We have Barkov and a few other players as well. I think Florida can definitely do bigger things moving forward and of course there is also Anthony DeClaire which is recently signed to the team. I was sad to see him go off Ottawa Senators but Ottawa Senators did not offer him a new contract. I can't wait to see what he does moving forward because I'm a huge fan of him. I love him in the NHL. Elliot Kings was one that a few players I didn't know if they were going to be saved but I decided to go with Drew Daughey, Copetair, Jonathan Quick, Jeff Carter and a few others based on what I think they can do and or what they've done in the past. I know they have won a Stanley Cup before but they're really really close to the bottom of the rankings every single year. They definitely need to in my opinion protect these players. Now for Minnesota Wilds there's five no-move clauses. There's Zach Prezi, Matt Zaccarello, Jared Spurgeron, Ryan Sutter and Jonas Broden. Now with that being said there's three defense that are already saved because of their no-move clause. That means what is going to happen with Matt Dumba. I honestly think Matt Dumba is going to be going to Seattle because unless one of the players with a no-move clause waves their no-move clause and they're not going to be protected in the expansion draft. If they don't do that Matt Dumba it will be forced to be unprotected and then eventually I think Seattle is going to sweep him up. I can't see him staying and I can't see Seattle missing that opportunity. I think Matt Dumba will be part of Seattle after the expansion draft. I think he's definitely going to be one that gets selected and I can't wait to see that happen. Now for Montreal Canadians there's a no-move clause for Cary Price. He's somebody that is a top goalie, 10.5 million a year. Also Jeff Petrie also has a no-move clause and Brandon Gallagher. But there is other players for the Canadians that I think are going to do greats. Shay Weber, he is getting up in age, he's 35. He does have a huge salary hit but I think he's somebody that is going to be saved based on his elite status and that might be what helps the Montreal Canadians moving forward. Again I'm just not a fan of Cary Price based on his injuries and I don't think he's as great a player as people let on. Now for Nashville Predators the only person with a no-move clause is Roman Josie but there is some other great players to be saved. We have Peca René who's 38. I think he's an elite goalie so I think he could be saved but I could see it go the other way. I could save them save one of their other goalies and have them be one of the top goalies now and have Peca René get swept up by Seattle but I'm still going to have them for this prediction be protected for the expansion draft. I also think Philip Forsberg obviously in my opinion he's going to be protected. Nick Cousins, Matt Dushane and a few others. I'm a huge fan of Matt Dushane. I can't speak highly enough of him. Huge, huge fan of Matt Dushane. I can't wait to see what he does moving forward and I definitely miss him on the Ottawa Senators. Now for the New Jersey Devils. There is some very interesting ones that I'm going to be selecting. Corey Crawford. Hampton Hodge but I think Corey Crawford is somebody that they definitely could and would select. Ryan Murray, P. K. Subban is one that I think could have been doing better but I definitely think they're going to protect him if they decide not to. That's on them but I think Seattle will sweep him up. It just sucks that it's a $9 million salary hit. I just wish he would do better. He has contracted until 2022 so who knows? Either team could take a risk, both Seattle or the Devils take a risk until 2022 and then decide what to do with P. K. if he's not up to par with the team. But these are the other players that I think they are going to protect, at least in my opinion. For New York Islanders, we do have Anders Lee, Brock Nelson, Jordan Eberle and we also have Jean-Gabriel Pajot which I am a huge fan of. I also miss him from Ottawa Senators, a $5 million contract, 28 years old, up until 2026. That's when he's contracted till. I don't know why Ottawa Senators did not offer him this contract. They just flat out refused and the Islanders picked it up. I'm a huge fan of his and I definitely think he's going to be protected along with all of these other players. For the New York Rangers, there are a few players that are protected. So we have Panarin, Crider and we have Mika Zabanaged who I'm a huge fan of and I can't wait to see what he does moving forward. And we also have Jacob Trubba who is neither there here or there. But for me, he has to be protected for the sake of this video because we don't know about his no move clause. If he's going to wave it, I can't see him waving it. But these are the other players that I think they are likely going to protect. Kaichil, I think he's going to be protected, but I want to see a lot more from him moving forward. Now for the Ottawa Senators, this is where things get very, very interesting because the Ottawa Senators are still changing up the line-ups and making trades and getting top players on their team. And I can't wait to see what happens this next season. First is Matt Murray. Matt Murray is a huge goalie and I absolutely love that Ottawa acquired him. We still have Thomas Shabbat whom a huge fan of and we still have players like Logan Brown, Brady Kinshuk, Cedric Paquette who I wish that Ottawa would play a little bit more. I'm a huge fan of Cedric Paquette, but I just want to see him on the ice a little bit more. We have other players like Chris Tierney which I'm thankful that Ottawa decided to resign him. And we also have recently acquired from the Coyotes, Derek Steffen who I can't wait to see him on the Ottawa Senators. So Ottawa is doing decent things when it comes to signing new players and signing players to hopefully better the team. I just wish, wish that they get a little bit better on the ice and do a lot more. So they have a lot of players that are great that I think are going to do awesome moving forward. Cedric Paquette, I really want to see what he does because I'm a huge fan of him even before Ottawa Senators. He's a player that I do collect for hockey cards. I can't wait to see what he does but I definitely am interested to see what the team as a whole does this season. So these are the players that I think they are going to protect. For the Flyers, there's no doubt in my mind that for goalies it's going to be Carter Hart. There is no doubt he's an elite goalie. He's so young but so good on the ice. Brian Elliott is somebody that I wish could be protected because I'm a huge fan of his but Carter Hart is definitely a young elite goalie. And of course there's Kevin Hayes and Claude Giroux who have no move clauses. Jacob Vorcheck whom a huge fan of among Sean Couturier who I'm also a huge fan of. So Flyers have a lot of great players. I just want to see them do better on the ice. At least they make the playoffs every year unlike the Ottawa Senators. But I can't wait to see what happens. These in my opinions are the must ones to protect for the expansion draft. For Pittsburgh Penguins, let's start off with Sydney Crosby, Malkin and LaTang. They all have no move clauses. Sydney Crosby of course without the no move clause would still be part of the Penguins. No doubt in my mind. I also think that Jason Zucker is definitely going to stay along with Tristan Jerry. I think they're definitely going to protect him because at the end of last season it came down to Tristan Jerry and Matt Murray of which goalie is going to get signed and they ultimately went with Tristan Jerry. So if they don't protect him and they end up losing him, it's kind of worthless to have Matt Murray get traded in the first place. So they're definitely going to be saving him. For the Sharks, Vlasik and Eric Carlson have no move clauses, but nobody else does. So I think also on top of that Brent Burns is going to be saved. Logan Couture, Evander Cain whom I'm a huge huge fan of. And I think Patrick Malau just based on his elite status as being a veteran player, I think if they end up having him go at the age of 41 and be not that Seattle will select him, but I think it'd be an honorable thing to have him be protected in this draft. And then he'd be able to retire as a shark as opposed of potentially leaving the organization. The St. Louis Blues. We have Jordan Bennington, definitely an elite goalie that I think is going to be protected. No doubt in my mind. Troy Krug who I think he since he just came to the Blues, I think he's definitely going to be protected. Ryan O'Reilly, Vladimir Tarasenko and a few other players. No doubt in my mind, so that's they are since they won the Stanley Cup doing a lot better than they did in previous years. And I can't wait to see what they do moving forward. But these are who I think they are going to protect. I think it's going to come down to who they want and who they need to move for to possibly get into the Stanley Cup and win another cup. And I think these are the ones to do so for Tampa Bay Lightning. We have Victor Hedman. We have Nikita Kuturov and Steven Stamko's with no move clauses, which is really, really good. I think they'd be protected regardless. But we also have Brayden points who I think will be protected as well among with other players. I think they have a lot of great players right now, but definitely the ones with the no move clause are the ones that I think would be the top ones to get protected. Even if they didn't have the no move clause, I couldn't see that Tampa Bay Lightning would not protect those players because if Seattle were to get them, those would be key players to lose. So I don't think that they would do that regardless of if they didn't have the no move clause for Toronto Maple Leafs. The only player with a no move clause is John Taveras, which I think he'd get saved anyways, along with a ton of other players as well, including Austin Matthews, Mitch Murner, Wayne Simmons, in my opinion, will get protected. He's new to the team. He's a veteran player. Why not? I think he's going to do great this season. And I decided not to select Joe Thornton. I don't think that somebody that's Seattle would choose unless they just really, really wants a veteran player. He is 41 years old, but he is somebody that is amazing. And I like that he's on Toronto, but Toronto signed way too many veteran players to have a real big impact with Joe Thornton just himself. Coming near the end, we're at the Vancouver Canucks right now. I'm really, really excited to see what happens. I think Braden Holtby is an elite goalie. So out of their two goalies, even though I want Demko, I think Braden Holtby is the one that will be selected and is the top one. We have Besser, Horvats, Miller, and Pearson that I also think will get selected based on what they can do on the ice and what they do for the team. And of course, Elias Pedersen, no doubt in my mind, he is going to be protected. Washington Capitals. Up first, we have Nicholas Backstrom with the no move clause, along with Alex Ovechkin, who I definitely think is going to be staying and playing out the rest of his days in Washington. He's only contracted until 2021, but I think Washington will resign him and have him be a long life player of the organization. Hendrik Lundquist is the goalie I selected just because not only is he among the top, but I think he's somebody that they're going to be pushing him to be the main goalie this season. And then we have the Winnipeg Jets. Blake Wheeler is the only one that has a no move clause. We also have players like Mark Shelfie and Kyle Conner, which I think are definitely going to be saved. Along with, I'm just going to put it out there, Dylan DeMello, just based on I want him to do better. And I think he should be doing better. I also would have selected Derek Forbert, but Dylan DeMello or Derek Forbert, I think I'm going to go with Dylan DeMello, but I think that Derek Forbert will be selected by the Seattle Kraken. So that was my team by team breakdown of who I think will be protected in the 2021 expansion draft for the Seattle Kraken. I honestly can't wait to see who will be selected for Seattle. And I can't wait to see who will be exposed and if there's any big players comment down below team by team, who you think will be protected or the main ones, or just mention who you think will be left exposed that Seattle may pick up. I know this is a longer video than I'm used to. I'm going to try to cut it down as best as I can, but also leave on the screen for you guys, each team who I think is going to be protected. And I hope you guys enjoyed this concept. The next video is going to be me talking about each team who I think Seattle is going to select out of the unprotected players. And at the end of that video, I'm going to talk about the full team that I think Seattle will have next season for their first season in the NHL. Definitely going to be very interesting, but thanks for watching this video. I'm going to leave this here. I'll see you guys in the next one. Please take care. Peace.
