Creating the Kraken: a mock Seattle expansion draft

What a great website CapFriendly is — it’s such a delight and useful. The fine folks over there have an expansion draft creator that is a lot of fun to use. They’ve loaded up the actual real expansion lists, so now is the time to create your own version of the Seattle Kraken.

My main goal was to create a competitive team, however the Kraken have a blank slate financially against the salary cap, in a climate where the cap is likely to remain flat for years to come. Therefore, I made it a priority to consider how to position my team for the future and try to maintain maximum flexibility in the years to come.
