Borgen, on the other hand, offers upside. McCabe would be a tremendous piece for the Kraken, but he comes with risk as a UFA. Despite his horrible 2020-21 season, Skinner is probably the most talented player available, but he's way too expensive. Notable players exposed: F Cody Eakin, F Zemgus Girgensons, F Kyle Okposo, F Tobias Rieder*, F Riley Sheahan*, F Jeff Skinner, D William Borgen, D Jake McCabe, D Colin Miller, G Carter Hutton* But Ritchie's combination of size (6-foot-2, 230 pounds) and scoring (15 goals over 56 games in 2020-21) is too hard to pass up. Kase is enticing, but his injury history should scare off Seattle. With Hall, Krejci, Reilly, Halak, and Rask all pending UFAs, Ritchie is the surest bet.

He has a big body with scoring touch, and there's one season remaining on his two-year, $2-million deal. But Fischer is a perfectly justifiable pick. Seattle could realistically tap Pitlick, or take a flier on Bunting, a pending unrestricted free agent. Notable players exposed: F Derick Brassard*, F Michael Bunting*, F Christian Fischer, F Tyler Pitlick, D Jason Demers*, D Alex Goligoski*, D Niklas Hjalmarsson*, D Ilya Lyubushkin, D Jordan Oesterle*, G Antti Raanta* He's set to earn just $925,000 in 2021-22, which is exactly the price tag Seattle needs to offset some of the heftier contracts the club will be inheriting. The Kraken will presumably give Shattenkirk a long look, but Volkov, a 23-year-old potential bottom-six winger, is a better monetary fit. Notable players exposed: F Ryan Getzlaf*, F Derek Grant, F Danton Heinen, F Adam Henrique, F Sonny Milano, F Alexander Volkov, D Haydn Fleury, D Kevin Shattenkirk, G Anthony Stolarz * Denotes pending unrestricted free agent –––––––––– Anaheim Ducks

With that in mind, here's who we see Seattle taking later this week. Lastly, the Vegas Golden Knights are exempt from the selection process after going through their own expansion draft only four years ago.
