Mock Expansion Draft - Oilers Edition 2022-06-19 Anaheim - Jaccob Slavin analysis: gives Kraken a solid top pair D to build around or use as trade chip, Ducks could also push for Hoffman in a side deal Arizona - Rickard Rakell analysis: best available unprotected from the Coyotes, can be resigned next season or moved to a contender Boston Bruins - Dante Fabbro analysis: Kraken goes off the board here as Vrana is the higher upside pick, but having traded for Fabbri it's only right Kraken adds Fabbro to the mix too Buffalo - Tyson Barrie analysis: first UFA selected also happens to be the best available from a well protected Sabres roster Calgary - Laurent Brossoit analysis: the wheeling and dealing Flames could also strike a side deal with Kraken to select Binnington or Lee Carolina - Olli Maata analysis: the delinquent Hurricanes are nowhere to be seen to submit their protection list, assuming the league protects Soucy, Carlo and Hronek which leaves Maata as the best available dman Chicago - Austin Watson analysis: the Hawks double wrapped their roster, ideally a side deal to take Vlasic would be the way to go Colorado - Yakov Trenin analysis: best available forward from a well protected roster, Quick also an option if Kraken feels more adventurous Columbus - Adam Lowry analysis: the best available forward here barring a side deal Dallas - RNH analysis: it's a big price tag but the ratings should be there, this could also be who Stars ask to take via side deal Detroit - Alex Wennberg analysis: best available forward unless a side deal is struck Edmonton - Alec Martinez analysis: my sources are strong on this one Florida - Caleb Jones analysis: sneaky value here for Kraken to bring on a younger D with untapped potential LA - James Reimer analysis: another good value pick here as the veteran should be a solid backup this season Minnesota - Ben Chiarot analysis: solid backend D that should give Kraken another trade piece Montreal - Dominik Simon analysis: Habs list is bare bone so it's either a low end pick or a side deal Nashville - Ryan Lindgren analysis: i doubt Kraken takes on Bailey unless the wheeling Preds struck a deal there, Lindgren seems like the safest pick New Jersey - John Klingberg analysis: the second UFA Kraken takes is well worth it after putting up 41 nhl assists, so what if he'll ask for 8 mil NY Islanders - Paul Stastny analysis: some interesting choices here for Kraken, unless deal is struck why not take on third UFA that had a good season NY Rangers - Travis Dermott analysis: not the sexiest pick but still has upside and an RFA at the end of his deal Ottawa - Ryan Lomberg analysis: can go a few different directions here but this one is safer Philly - Dylan Gambrell analysis: no obvious picks on a well protected roster but Gambrell could have some untapped upside Pittsburgh - Barclay Goodrow analysis: solid middle of the linup forward for the Kraken or a trade piece St Louis - Matt Murray analysis: tough choice on a well protected roster, Lafferty is also another option San Jose - Joel L'Esperance analysis: Shark could have struck a side deal for Kraken to take Butcher, but if not you can do worse than Joel Tampa Bay - Jakub Zboril analysis: there's enough untapped upside here to take a chance on the RFA Toronto - Jesper Fast analysis: easiest pick in the draft, can build a franchise around Jesper Vancouver - Sean Monahan analysis: something tells me a side deal has been made here for this to happen Vegas - Matt Grzelcyk analysis: you can do a lot worse than getting Grz here for free, altough high probability of a side deal Washington - Adam Erne analysis: gotta steer clear of some bloated contracts unless there's a side deal Winnipeg - Vincent Trocheck analysis: best available who should be rated solid enough at just south of 5 million Total players: 15 forwards, 13 dmen, 3 goalies
