The expansion draft will take place next offseason. Very similar to the Vegas Golden Knights who built their team around Marc-Andre Fleury, the Seattle Kraken are expected to target a top goalie.
NHL Rumors: Jonathan Quick the Seattle Kraken?
Ron Francis will have his pick of players for sure, but one goaltender that could be at the top of his list is Jonathan Quick. The two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the L.A. Kings would give Seattle instant credibility, much like Fleury did with the Knights.
The Kings likely see 26 year-old goaltender Cal Peterson as the next number one.
