Looks like we will start with a good two-way defensemen. Buffalo needs offense so they may pick some other than Owen Power....which is good for us because Power will shut the lights out around here. If Buffalo does take Power ,than we will probably take Luke Hughes another really good defender.

I forgot that the lottery was tonight. Getting the two pick is HUGE, thankfully the NHL draft isn't like the MLB draft, we're almost guaranteed to get an All-Star and hopefully the best player in the draft.

So that, a lot of good players available in the expansion draft, and a lot of money to spend on free agents who saw what happened in Vegas and are going to want to play for Seattle. Good times ahead.

I think Power will be off the board as well. I can't see the Sabres passing him up. I'm hoping that we go Defense as well with our first pick. How ironic that one of my favorite players growing up has taken command of my favorite future franchise in Seattle. Crazy!

The stuff I have read in the Athletic has Power at about a 70% chance of going #1.They are all saying that there are maybe 9 tier 1 prospects and then there is a cliff to tier 2....but there are alot of solid tier 2 players.

It will be Hughes or Beniers. Great way to start a franchise

I have been seeing that the Sabres fans will revolt if they take another LHD as they already have 4 good ones. The fans want Berniers which leaves Power for us....Groovy Baby!!!

If we get Powers, I will be over the Moon!! No matter what, we're getting a danged good pick. Almost makes me wanna trade back to #4 and get #20 as well from NJ.

In 2019, the New Jersey Devils selected Jack Hughes with the first overall pick. This year, his brother, Luke Hughes is the fourth-ranked North American skater. New Jersey is going to try and reunite the brothers in whatever way possible. This is where Seattle can play a big role.

Picking at No. 3 are the Anaheim Ducks, who desperately need to rebuild their blueline. Luke Hughes would be a great partner for Jamie Drysdale. To avoid Anaheim pouncing on Hughes, New Jersey could offer a pick swap to jump up to two. In exchange, the Kraken could bolster their selection pool with the Islanders’ first or second-round pick this year, which New Jersey owns. This trade is all dependant on how badly The Devils want Hughes and how much they are willing to pay to get him.

I could also see us taking Edvinsson at #2. I'd be on board with that as well. I'm hearing a lot of good stuff about him and he is FLYING up the board!!!
