Do we even protect Drouin at this point?
NHL is the ultimate copycat league...the final four all possess some level of brutality in their lineups & style of play...even TBay.
The end of faggot era hockey is quickly approaching...only a matter of time before Dubas gets canned IMO and with it will come a full frontal assault by the old guard to banish the analytics types to the nether sphere.
Why bother protecting him , do you think the backlash will be harsh or optics looked bad ?Do we even protect Drouin at this point?
Ben has a year left and wont be resignedI like to keep Chairot. He is pretty underrated.
Lets Seattle gets Byron or Allen(if it is an option?)
So is TBay Cup win last year a Covid gift too? This is not the 2010 Habs, they are where they are based on handily beating their opponents, thus far, all of whom were higher ranked.Ballerina hockey as you call it , never worked in the playoffs and never will
You need to find a balance between having skill and will to make the playoffs and then hope your roster is built for 4 rounds of attrition .
Dubas tried to buck the trend with a spreadsheet
They should start resetting this summer , they are foolish thinking this roster has 3 extra gears of compete in them .
However we never had a window to begin with , we simply took advantage of the Covid gift handed to us
I can see Drouin being proposed in a package for Seth Jones - who’s apparently very close to Weber and views him as his father figureDo we even protect Drouin at this point?

The excuses are getting old, North division being the worst - so what is VGK? How bad was the West division?
Playoffs in this parity NHL, has always been about favorable matchups, and every team that wins needs some level of puck luck.
MB got a lot of flak during the season for going against the trend and putting up this built for playoffs roster. We barely made it through the regular season but looks like he was right about his roster and the playoffs. It's not luck or fluke or Covid, the team is playing great.
It truly depends what's up with him. I also wouldn't be shocked if he just quits hockey at this point or take a full year off.

So how many unprotected each team is supposed to represent?Do we even protect Drouin at this point?

There is no mandate on unprotected.
Each team need to protect either 7F, 3D, 1G, or 8 skaters and 1 G.

Exposure Requirements
As part of their requirements, the 30 teams participating in the Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft must expose two forwards and one defenseman that are under contract for the 2021-22 season. These players are required to have played 40 games in the 2020-21 season or have 70 or more NHL games over the 2019-20 & 2020-21 seasons combined. Similarly, teams must expose a goalie that is either under contract in 2021-22 or a restricted free agent following the 2020-21 season.
Worth noting, we highly anticipate that the games played requirements for forwards and defensemen will be adjusted down due to the 2019-20 season being abbreviated and the likelihood that the 2020-21 season will also be shorter than the usual 82 games.
de/ move clause has to be protected unless they agree to waive ?
Of course, I was just referring to how many unprotected can there be.Correct me if I am wrong
Any player with a full no trade/ move clause has to be protected unless they agree to waive ?
Any modified trade clause can be left unprotected ?
So Dano, Lehky, Armia are off the book as they are UFA.There is no mandate on unprotected.
Each team need to protect either 7F, 3D, 1G, or 8 skaters and 1 G.
Ok let’s play that game:You have to make the playoffs first ……………………...
Lehky is RFA so will need to be protected.So Dano, Lehky, Armia are off the book as they are UFA.
Yeah, forgot about him.Lehky is RFA so will need to be protected.
