NHL expansion draft, part 2 the draft.
Posted 1:53 PM ET | Comments 13
The NHL seems like it wants to expand, by at least two teams. In part two of this blog I will be doing the expansion draft of two new NHL clubs, as well as giving a brief reason why each player was taken. If you want to know which players are available from each current NHL team you can go back and read part one of this blog.
The rules of the expansion draft are as follows:
• Only one goaltender or one defenseman can be selected from each franchise.
• All 30 teams will have two players taken off their rosters.
• Both teams in the expansion draft must hit the salary cap floor $52,800,000.
• This hypothetical expansion draft will be a snake draft so team A will picks 1st and 4th and team B will picks 2nd and 3rd and so on a so forth
• If a RFA is picked his salary will increase by 1 million dollars at least.
The Draft
Team A will be picking 1st
Pick 1 (A) Andrei Vasilevskiy G $925,000 2 years
By far the best prospect available in the draft, team A jumps at the chance to pick the Russian goalie.
Pick 2 (B) Frederik Andersen 25 G $1,150,000 1 year
Team B will use their first pick on this massive goaltender from Denmark, he looks like the best goaltender available in the draft.
Pick 3 (B) Artem Anisimov C 27 $4,550,000 6 years
Using their seconded pick on Anisimov was a no brainer for team B they a young center that they have locked down for the next 6 years
Pick 4 (A) Marian Hossa RW 36 $5,275,000 6 years
Marian Hossa the best player in this draft is picked by team A for many reasons, chiefly his leadership and his marketability. Hossa will be the captain of the new club.

Team A once again picks the best prospect in his position in Dumba.
Pick 6 (B) Darren Helm C 28 $2,125,000 1 year
If the speedy center can stay healthy team B is hoping that they could have a true first line player.
Pick 7 (B) Lars Eller C 26 $3,500,000 3 years
Choosing the big center from Denmark will add good player for the bottom nine.

Elliott will more than likely be the starter for this new expansion team.
Pick 13 (A) Sam Gagner C 25 $3,200,000 1 year
Choosing the former number 8 draft pick Gagner has proven he could be a first line player in the NHL but has fallen into a cold streak in the last couple of seasons, team A hope that he could rebound in an expanded role.
Pick 14 (B) Tommy Wingels C 27 $2,475,000 1 year
A proven penalty killer and 15 goal scorer, will help in many ways with his new team.

The Depth Charts
For this part of the blog I will do my best to predict the day one depth charts of both of the new expansion clubs.

Keep in mind, that I’m also putting players in the depth charts in the natural positions so someone that is 5th or 6th on depth chart could still make the team if they can play another position. (EX. If a Center can also play the Left Wing or Right Wing he could make the team if he is the best option.)

Great blog, an intresting topic and a fun read!
this is stupid, you are stupid. why wouldnt TB protect Vasilevskiy, but down the meth kid
Ajemark and Aleddo thanks for reading.
Jonathan Drouin and other players would be available in the draft if Vasilevskiy was protected.
Saying that TB would do what SJ did with Nabokov in the 2000 expansion draft.
SJ gave both the new teams picks and players not to take Nabokov
Interesting read, but a couple of notes on the Ottawa players: Cowen would be protected and Chiasson will be making about $1 million not $2.5 million
Thank you for the feedback Statsman.
Do you even watch hockey? This was bad and you should feel bad.
Their just my opinions.
Good stuff. I would have done the same thing taking the goalies 1 and 2. I probably would have went with Colbourne higher and Reeves later. Nice work by you.
Thank you
