Seattle Kraken select Vince Dunn in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft

The Seattle Kraken have been making a splash during the expansion draft - even though most of the picks were spoiled earlier on Twitter.

The Kraken and GM Ron Francis have selected Vince Dunn from the Blues, setting him up to be one of the top pieces of the Kraken’s defense alongside Mike Giordano. Dunn will have to act as a mentor to young defensemen such as the Kraken’s pick from Boston, Jeremy Lauzon; their pick from Buffalo, Will Borgen, and their pick from Detroit, Dennis Cholowski.

Seattle began the draft announcements with multiple defensemen selected and their new goaltender, former Panther Chris Driedger.
