In order to round up their current roster, the Kraken are forced to pick a player from each team in the league, and in a recent article for the Seattle Times, Geoff Baker presented a short list of six goaltenders, six defensemen, and four forwards that he thinks will be on the Kraken's radar.
Goaltenders:
Jake Allen - Montreal Canadiens
Braden Holtby - Vancouver Canucks
Vitek Vanecek - Washington Capitals
Chris Driedger - Florida Panthers
Cam Talbot - Minnesota Wild
Aidin Hill - Arizona Coyotes
Defensemen:
Matt Dumba- Minnesota Wild
Shayne Gostisbehere - Philadelphia Flyers
Brad Skej - Carolina Hurricanes
Devon Toews - Colorado Avalanche
Brent Burns - San Jose Sharks
P.K. Subban- New Jersey Devils
Forwards:
T.J. Oshie - Washington Capitals
Tyler Johnson - Tampa Bay Lightning
Dylan Gambrell - San Jose Sharks
James Van Riemsdyk - Philadelphia Flyers
Of course, you'll find that some of the league's teams feature on this list several times. While several players from a single team can be obtained by side trades, the Kraken will only be allowed to select one player from each team through the expansion draught process.
