With Ron Francis recently being named the General Manager of the new Seattle franchise, this had me thinking about the Flyers’ roster and strategy come the 2021-22 season. The NHL has said that the rules for this coming expansion draft will be the same as before with the Vegas Golden Knights:
“The 2021 NHL Expansion Draft will be under the same rules for Seattle as the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017. Seattle will select one player from each team excluding the Golden Knights for a total of 30 (14 forwards, nine defensemen and three goalies) not including additional players who may be acquired as the result of violations of the Expansion Draft rules.
