My mock expansion draft protected list v 3.0 By TheJRod2006 on Jul 10, 2021, 12:53am EDT 2
Twice previously, I have taken a stab at what I think the Devils protected list will be for the Seattle Kraken expansion draft, which you can check out at the links above. The time is now almost here, as on July 17th, the expansion trade freeze will take place and protected lists must be submitted to the league, and the draft results will be made public on July 21st.
I had planned on doing a post-trade deadline version of this, but decided to hold off for a few reasons. Mainly, I m lazy and not a whole lot changed. Palmieri is out, Siegenthaler is in. So why write 1000+ words about it only to do it again in early July with essentially the same list?
