phelps 6,536 Posted July 8, 2021 #42 Share Posted July 8, 2021 nice season despite the pandemic troubles... I didn't appreciate too much the "new" RS divisions, or, rather, the games being played within each team's division only (definitely, I can't stand the same match 8 or 9 times already during the RS and I missed the East vs West games, as well)... but in the end, the playoffs had some very entertaining series and some quite surprising results... the Finals were not so exciting, because it was clear since game #1 that Tampa is on another level than Montreal, but still we saw some better hockey overall if compared to last year's (despite the score was closer last season)... now, as usual, I'm a bit depressed as the hockey season is over... but fortunately in 2 weeks time the Olympic Games start and it will make it easier to get to September and the new Hockey season (can't wait already for the next KHL season to open my personal campaign )... hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hckošice 13,129 Posted July 20, 2021 #43 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Seattle Kraken expansion draft is tonight Several teams already scared as hell, they will pickk some of their jewels they could not protect. well, except Vegas Seattle can select only one player from each team (except Vegas) Full List of available players https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/nhl-expansion-draft-2021-players-list-seattle-kraken/ipkgjt2eq5vx13rsis7ae6g62 Tampa protected Černák Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,536 Posted July 20, 2021 #44 Share Posted July 20, 2021 bot sure which strategy Seattle would use, but if it was my choice, I'd go for a immediate hunt for the cup (without any fear to invest most of the salary cap on expensive veterans)... there are so many top class players available that would be senseless going only for a bunch of youngsters looking at a future that could never come... I mean, Rask (goalie), Giordano, Edler (D), Landeskog, Tarasenko, Killorn (or Coleman), Danault (F)...just to name 6 or 7 players that could make a team dream of the top of the rankings... hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,569 Posted July 22, 2021 #45 Share Posted July 22, 2021 They picked Giordano alright but passed on GK Price which is a strange move. Las Vegas made the goalie their priority when they scooped MA Fleury in their own expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
