Re: 2021 Expansion Draft
126Losing Dunn for nothing sucks. Shame we didn't trade him earlier. I don't know what happened there.
Honestly what were we going to get for him? He’s a third pairing D with 2nd pairing offense. Teams that could have added him and then had to protect him likely had better options. No incentive to acquire a guy like him and add him to your protected list.BillP. wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 12:26 pm Losing Dunn for nothing sucks. Shame we didn't trade him earlier.

I like Dunn, would rather have kept him but one must make the sacrifice to the expansion gods. I'm just glad we didn't lose Barby or Sunnny. Now to figure out the Tarasenko mess, find 3-4 forwards and maybe a LD. Army gonna be a busy man.BillP. wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 12:39 pmGood point.ratonmono wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 12:30 pmHonestly what were we going to get for him?

his drywall contractor is STOKED.CaptSMRT wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 1:45 pm If Tarasenko's ego was bruised over the Captaincy thing...I'd hate to be in his house today.
Well they filled that spot by picking up McDermid from LA. Gotta think LA is sending them something for taking that plug.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 1:45 pm Imagine having the chance to get Kyle Clifford and passing. Francis OUT
..... as is his vet. His dog is being put in a witness protection program as we type.
Few people know his middle name is Kyle
What if he re-injures his shoulder punching a wall? Can we put him on LTIRetired or nah?
Maybe he can get Whitey Herzog’s job promoting the Painter’s and Taper’s Union and the Painting and Decorating Council.MissouriMook wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 7:43 pmWhat if he re-injures his shoulder punching a wall? Can we put him on LTIRetired or nah?
Deals are coming. Trade freeze in effect until tomorrowDave's a mess wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 8:40 pm
They didn't make any side deals. That's absolutely crazy to me. They look good on the blue line, but I don't see a lot of skill up front, beyond Eberle. I like McCann and Tanev too, but I see a lot of low scoring games in Seattle's future.
That freeze didn't apply to Seattle. They were allowed to make deals with teams related to their picks. They can still make deals tomorrow of course, but still weird they didn't.
