Borgen, Girgenssons...

Okposo & Miller too.

Likely 1 of the 2 D is the selection.  With Botterill's ties maybe they go off the board & select Girgensons.

There are others like Eakin available, but would be shocked if the selected player weren't one of those4.  (With Seattle getting something extra for certain should Okposo go.)

Girgensons might have been a player that Seattle would be interested in but his contract is too rich for what he has to offer.  Odds are that Miller is a player they would most consider.

My argument is that Okposo, Skinner, Eakin, and Miller would each need sweeteners, and the market price for sweeteners will be set by the teams trying to manage their cap, and to try to hold on to their depth. BS have none of those problems, so will find the price of getting rid of Okposo, Skinner, Miller, Eakin too high

I think odds are Seattle takes Miller. He’s an affordable expiring contract that can play on the PP and provides flexibility for either next offseason or going into the trade deadline.

Yup. I think it'll be Miller.

Miller, McCabe, Borgen, Davidson, Irwin

Hutton, Tokarski, Houser

(and we hold Pilut's rights for trade)

Hutton?

I thought we no longer have him under contract. Oops.

He is a UFA. But if Seattle negotiate with and sign him during their exclusive UFA window the next few days -- then he's the pick. All unprotected UFAs are in that boat.
