  2. Seattle Expansion draft chatter

    in NHL News & Rumors

    Posted · Edited by Thunder

    As for Price, I wonder if we'll ever have the full story. Angela Price's Instagram (I think) post on the night of implied pretty strongly they knew he wasn't going anywhere, but how could they know that?

     

    In any event, age and cap hit notwithstanding, it would have just been too weird to see the Habs sans Price. 

     

    Looks like good job by Bergie, managing to keep his goalie tandem, with Allen on a beauty of a contract.

    As others have mentioned, I'm most surprised by the Carolina and Minnesota picks. I thought surely one of Bean or Nino would be picked. Also surprised no DeMelo and, to a lesser extent, no Domi.

     

    It'll be interesting to see if some are explained by side deals. protecting Talbot over Kahkonen didn't make much sense at face value, so I'm assuming there was some kind of deal in place. Or maybe I'm just out to lunch on the guy, but I thought he was the best available goalie option.

     

    It's hard to imagine Edmonton could not (would not) match the Larsson offer.

    I'm the Poster Kid for making bad decisions. A quick scan of the spreadsheet shows this jewel I'd like a re-do on:

     

    I sure could have used Leon D's production the last few years.

    I later traded Domi, and am waiting on Anthony B to bloom.

    Oh my!
     

    I feel like we have a special bond.

    I've made my share of bad trades over the years, but one really stands out:

     

    In the 2018 offseason, I traded:

     

    Leon Draisaitl 

     

    for

     

    Clayton Keller

    2nd round amateur (ended up Kaliyev)

    $4M cash 

     

    At the time, Draisaitl already had two 70+ seasons under his belt. As everyone knows, he would get 100+ points in the next two.

     

    Keller was just coming off a 65 point season. His AAV was a fraction of Draisaitl's and I thought he was on the verge of becoming a superstar (I'm sure some guy said so on the Dobber forums). He ended up giving me two 40+ point seasons with some of the worst peripherals in fantasy hockey.

     

    I basically carried deadweight on my team for two seasons instead of one of CHA's top performers. My reward? The Coyotes inexplicably signed a 40-point player to a $57M contract and I decided to walk away (just watch, that'll be my mulligan entry for next year).

     

    What adds insult to injury is that I made this trade with weeoiler, who is possibly the biggest Oilers homer in CHA and probably would have given me half his team for Draisaitl if I'd only asked.

     

    Epilogue

     

    As for Kaliyev, I ended up trading him, Mantha and another 2nd amateur for Couturier (pricey but I stand by that trade), so I guess this can also be seen as 

     

    Draisaitl

    Mantha

    2nd amateur 

     

    for

     

    Couturier
