[54th man]

I really dont want to lose Bean

I don't see Seattle looking at many on this list beyond Nino and McGinn.

Maybe, but they have to build a roster too and take into consideration the salary cap, etc. They need bottom 6 guys as well.

Bean, he was a Francis project. 
 

Kinda telling we went Fast over Nino though…

Bean was a Francis #13 pick and had a very good first half of the season, but when his 2nd half.... eh, not so much. I've heard more than one person say Lorentz might be the guy.

This is a good video.

Not so much the Mock Drafts, but the breakdown of the Vegas draft from 2017 and the implications of who was and was not selected.

[Anybodyhome]

One of his rosters shows Seattle taking Bean, the other shows Mrazek.

As long as they leave the Martyman alone, I'm cool with it. Losing Nino would hurt too, but I just think Martinook is more important to the team than people give him credit for.

Saw last night Seattle is working on a 3-year deal for Driedger (Florida's goalie) at $10.5M. That's a good thing for Carolina because Driedger, a 3rd round pick, has 5 years in the league, he's played in a total of 38 games. For an expansion team, he could very well be the starter for that kind of money, unless there's another unprotected option Seattle may be looking at (Carey Price?).

They may go after Price, knowing he's probably going to have surgery and delay his 2021-22 season and they have Driedger as their starter until Price comes back. Not a bad 1-2 if you ask me.

I hope they take someone besides Bean, but they are almost guaranteed to take Bean. Francis drafted him and he's one of our top prospects. They have little incentive to take anyone else.

Reports are that the Kraken have selected Morgan Geekie and there are no side deals. 

 

 

We got to keep Bean, bros!

Have selected? isn’t it not up until tonight? If we only lose geekie I will be fugging stun. I like geekie but for us he’s a 4th liner at best right now.

They had to have their selections submitted to the NHL by 10 am. Pretty much the entire list has leaked now.
