It only took a couple of scrolls through Twitter to get the gist of the expansion draft. Insiders were leaking picks left and right, so naturally, many fans were left out of the suspense when the actual draft show rolled around the corner. However, the suspense was boiling for those in the Predators community that weren’t on social media during the day. Would the Seattle Kraken be willing to take an awful contract like Ryan Johansen or Matt Duchene’s? Would they take one of Calle Järnkrok and Colton Sissons? Or would they go “off the board” and select someone like Yakov Trenin?
A Calle-Järnkrok-sized hole is open—who can fill it?
