Locked On Sharks
Why Sharks Need More Forwards Before Expansion Draft
Kyle, Erik, and JD look ahead to the Seattle Kraken expansion draft and how this could be an opportunity for the San Jose Sharks to re-make their team. We look at the rules of the draft, why the Sharks will need to re-sign some players beforehand, what the optimum strategy for protecting players might be, and if Doug Wilson could try and move a large contract in a deal. We go over the major trades of the Vegas Golden Knights’ expansion draft to look at how general managers valued their own players. We end up with our preliminary guesses for who the Seattle Kraken might take.

Kane’s prob the easiest to move due to age and his contract isn’t too bad. he’s also increased his scoring rates while with the Sharks. even when he isn’t scoring at 5v5 he’s driving play decently. if DW can’t find a trade partner within limited NTC options with either LC and/or Burns a deal can prob be reached with Seattle to… Read more »
