My mock expansion draft protected list v 3.0 By TheJRod2006 on Jul 10, 2021, 12:53am EDT 2
Twice previously, I have taken a stab at what I think the Devils protected list will be for the Seattle Kraken expansion draft, which you can check out at the links above. The time is now almost here, as on July 17th, the expansion trade freeze will take place and protected lists must be submitted to the league, and the draft results will be made public on July 21st.
I had planned on doing a post-trade deadline version of this, but decided to hold off for a few reasons. Mainly, I m lazy and not a whole lot changed. Palmieri is out, Siegenthaler is in. So why write 1000+ words about it only to do it again in early July with essentially the same list?

This is an honor similar to the All-Star First and Second Teams for the NHL’s players and it is voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers Association. Three forwards, two defensemen, and a goaltender are selected annually for this team. This year’s All-Rookie Team consists of Smith, goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic of Carolina, defenseman K’Andre Miller of Our Hated Rivals, forward Kirill Kaprizov of Minnesota, forward Josh Norris of Ottawa, and forward Jason Robertson of Dallas. As per the press release, Smith is the sixth defenseman in Devils history to be named to the All-Rookie team. He joins Will Butcher, Colin White, Brian Rafalski, Scott Niedermayer, and Eric Weinrich in that group. That is not a bad group to be a part of. While Butcher’s career remains in progress, the other four played in this league for quite a long time.
