This is an analysis of the best options for the Seattle Kraken expansion and why each player should be chosen.
I will analyse each team’s choice of players to protect the best interests of their present and future and then step into the shoes of Seattle’s management team to choose the best available players.
This is barring any trades beforehand for teams attempting to move players they can’t protect and don’t want to lose for nothing. We will take a look at the Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers, Los Angeles Kings and Minnesota Wild.

The Boston Bruins potentially have helped the Detroit Red Wings’ rebuild.
The first 16 draft spots, which includes the Wings at No. 6, go to the 15 teams that did not advance to the playoffs, and to expansion Seattle.
Playoff teams that did not win the division and failed to make the conference finals the Capitals check both boxes will be assigned the spots starting at 17, based on points.
