NFT: NHL Free Agency 2020: Begins Tomorrow (Friday) at Noon

Anakim : 10/8/2020 11:46 am
Unfortunately, King Henrik is expected to sign with the Capitals for one-year.

Blue Jackets have bought out C Alex Wennberg. Wouldn't mind if the Rangers poked around at him.

Devils have bought out G Cory Schneider.

I hope the Devils land either Talbot, Khudobin, or Greiss to backup Blackwood.

While I am not enamored with his play recently, can we afford to deal Strome? He's one of the 2 legit Cs that we have (not sold on Chytil being able to stay at C). Plus, what could Boston possibly give up that makes it worth it?

At least Strome is coming off a good season. Johnson has been a corpse since 2016 give or take.

Probably why they signed Kinkaid. To expose him to Seattle.
I bet  
pjcas18 : 10/9/2020 1:53 pm : link
Kinkaid was signed so they have a goalie to expose in the expansion draft - 2 year deal - seems suspicious - if so, good, smart, signing.

Until I saw the 2 year term it didn't click for me. From what I've read you can pencil in Holtby as the Kraken goalie, the rest (of the goalies) are just box checking.

I Understand they needed a goalie for the expansion draft. I didn’t realize they needed forwards or defensemen to expose. I would hope the Rangers are smart with their cap money and sign short term fillers for the center position and a left defensemen

Yep, perhaps the same with Blackwell and to a less extent Rooney, but not familiar with him.

As far as Expansion Draft  
Mike in NY : 10/9/2020 2:06 pm : link
I believe it is 2 F and 1 D exposed have to be under contract for at least the Kraken's first season and play either 40 games this coming year or 70 combined between last year and this year. Blackwell doesn't seem to fit because he would need 40 games this year which likely won't be met unless there are injuries. Rooney is more likely for that as he only needs 21 games to meet 70 combined.
Thanks Mike

Expansion rules  
pjcas18 : 10/9/2020 2:35 pm : link
....same as Vegas so replace Vegas with Seattle and 2017-2018 with 2021-2022


Protected Lists

* Clubs will have two options for players they wish to protect in the Expansion Draft:

a) Seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender

b) Eight skaters (forwards/defensemen) and one goaltender

* All players who have currently effective and continuing "No Movement" clauses at the time of the Expansion Draft (and who to decline to waive such clauses) must be protected (and will be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits).

* All first- and second-year professionals, as well as all unsigned draft choices, will be exempt from selection (and will not be counted toward their club's applicable protection limits).

Player Exposure Requirements

* All Clubs must meet the following minimum requirements regarding players exposed for selection in the Expansion Draft:

i) One defenseman who is a) under contract in 2017-18 and b) played in 40 or more NHL games the prior season OR played in 70 or more NHL games in the prior two seasons.

ii) Two forwards who are a) under contract in 2017-18 and b) played in 40 or more NHL games the prior season OR played in 70 or more NHL games in the prior two seasons.

iii) One goaltender who is under contract in 2017-18 or will be a restricted free agent at the expiration of his current contract immediately prior to 2017-18. If the club elects to make a restricted free agent goaltender available in order to meet this requirement, that goaltender must have received his qualifying offer prior to the submission of the club's protected list.

* Players with potential career-ending injuries who have missed more than the previous 60 consecutive games (or who otherwise have been confirmed to have a career-threatening injury) may not be used to satisfy a club's player exposure requirements, unless approval is received from the NHL. Such players also may be deemed exempt from selection by the League.
