The NHL regular season schedule will be announced Thursday night and draft time will be Friday. Seattle (Associated Press) - The Seattle Kraken expansion draft lacks drama. 'It makes up for it with elusions, produces, and a huge party to celebrate one of the most important steps in the latest NHL team lineup. ""I supposed a lot of different ways, which is amazing,"" Seattle coach Dave Hakstol said: ""All the boats in the lake behind us, the scene on the other side of the stage. This is great."" When the 30 names were leaked hours before the team announced their pick on the shore of Lake Union, the unknowns about Seattle's pick disappeared. Although there are no surprises, the introduction of the core of Seattle's lineup remains a night of celebration, which will make its Las Vegas debut in mid-October and play its first home game on October 12. 23 Against opponent Vancouver. An octopus at the Seattle Aquarium announced an election. The other was written on a fish dumped at the city's legendary Pike Place Market. There's also Seattle's sports celebrity assembly line, from Subord to Marshaun Lynch. Fans of various water equipment - paddleboards, kayaks, and boats of all sizes - caused fleet congestion at Lake Union. There was a huge inflatable octopus, a temporary Stanley Cup, and when Commissioner Gary Bateman appeared on shore, he whistled loudly. "This shows that they are true hockey fans," Bateman told the group of people in the water, prompting cheers of "Gary, Gary, Gary." Of course, those fans saw the Seattle first team lineup. Obviously, salary cap flexibility is one of Seattle's top priorities. Of the 30 players selected, Seattle only committed $ 54 million of the $ 81.5 million, excluding some restricted free agents who were selected, if they stay, the figure will approach $ 60 million. The deals and incidental deals in which Las Vegas left the league four years ago did not appear this time. Vegas announced 10 exchanges in its draft expansion; Seattle, zero. "The last time (in Las Vegas), the team paid a price to stay away from these guys. This time, they were reluctant to do it because the general managers learned," Seattle general manager Ron Francis said. ""What they want to do is let us expose someone with bad money or a bad contract. For us, we believe (the upper limit) is the most valuable asset we have now, especially if there may be a flat in a year or two. In the upper limit environment."" Defense is obviously Seattle's top priority. Either build your own depth or have the opportunity to trade players for other options. Some people seem to be locked up like Adam Larsson and Jamie Oleksiak. They are all unrestricted free agents with long-term contracts with Seattle. Larson received a four-year, $ 16 million contract to become a rookie for the Edmonton Oilers, while Oleksac received $ 23 million in five years. 'Calgary experienced Mark Giordano was considered a possible trade option but seemed unlikely when he took the stage and donned the Kraken home jersey. The 37-year-old Giordano has the largest cap of all the Kraken-selected players, but will soon wear a "C" at the beginning of his first season. "" It felt a little different today, but it was crazy the day before,"" Giordano said. ""This is the first time I have been selected in my career, so thank you Siren, I am very happy to be here."" As for the other players' options, Kraken landed his goalkeeper, his lategoalie Chris Driedger and veteran forwards Jordan Eberle and Jared McCann. Seattle selected Tampa Bay forward Yanni Goode, but will miss the first month of the season at least after shoulder surgery. Seattle also passed the great goalkeeper Kyrie Price, who had just supported Montreal in Montreal, to the Stanley Cup final. Instead, they opted to sign Derek to sign a three-year deal worth $ 10.5 million. Dollars. "When I accept it a little bit, I don't know who my goalkeeping partner will be," Drigg said. "In that situation, I was just betting on myself. In the NHL, wherever you go, there will be competition." Over the next five seasons, Price's annual salary cap reached $ 10.5 million, along with the 33-year-old's dubious injury history, prompting Seattle to abandon him. ""Anytime you see a name like Kelly Price, you have to think about it,"" Francis said. Seattle also brought in goalkeeper Vitke Vaneckek from Washington and Joey Dakold from Ottawa. The combined cost of Driedger and Vanecek is less than half the price. Eberle is one of the few players on the scene, and he calls it a "new challenge." "You don't have many opportunities to be a part of the new franchise," said Eberle of the New York Islander. ""Every time you have the opportunity to take the Cup to a city never seen before, it is very special."" Seattle once hosted the Stanley Cup in 1917, when the city's team was the Mets. It was Francis and Siren who tried to get it back, and the expansion strategy seemed to mimic the Golden Cavaliers' off-court selections instead of the big stars. "I really believe in Ron Francis's ability to build a team," said Drigg. "He knows what he is doing." Boston guard Jeremy Lauzon will become the No. 1 pick in the Seattle expansion draft. Competitor Vancouver's Collind ranked 30th. "Here is a great list of players," Oleksandr said of Seattle's starting roster. ""This is a new team, it offers a lot of opportunities for the players and it will be fun.""
