My Seattle Kraken expansion draft (part 1) A Set the default text size A Set large text size A Set the default text size A Set large text size
In this exercise, I analyse each team’s choices in players to protect in the best interest of their present and future and then step in the shoes of Seattle’s management team to choose the best available player, barring any trades beforehand.
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 look at the Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, and Calgary Flames ahead of the expansion draft.
Hall wants long-term contract with Bruins: report
Forward would like to remain in Boston hopefully longer than one or two more years NHL.com @NHLdotcom
Taylor Hall can become an unrestricted free agent after the season but the forward hopes to remain with the Boston Bruins for the foreseeable future. I do want to play here, not just for one or two more years, hopefully longer than that, Hall told ESPN in comments published Thursday. I don t even know what my worth is right now, honestly. I m not worried about my contract right now, it s something we ll figure out in the summer. I have much bigger things to worry about as a player, as a teammate.
The former Hart Trophy winner will be a free agent this summer, and all signs point to him remaining with the Bruins, who will have a good amount of cap space.

Taylor Hall s first postseason appearance might have felt magical to those in New Jersey, but the magic disappeared as soon as the puck dropped in Tampa.
Three years ago, the New Jersey Devils broke a five-year drought to get into the Stanley Cup playoffs, and it was largely based on Hall s unreal efforts during his MVP season.
The Devils returned to the Prudential Center down 2-0 to the Tampa Bay Lightning in their first-round series. Fans of the historic franchise knew nothing but winning for years before the playoff-less streak, and they were primed for a victory.
