Though the 2021 Expansion Draft won’t air until tonight, a number of their selections have been leaked from various reporters. Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic first reported that the Seattle Kraken will select forward Alexander True from the San Jose Sharks.
It was expected that the Kraken would select a forward from the Sharks, as pickings remained fairly slim after the protected lists were submitted. True, however, is a bit of a surprise, as forwards Ryan Donato, Dylan Gambrell and Matt Nieto were made available and have more experience at the NHL level.
