And Seattle has to claim a certain amount of contract dollars per the expansion draft rules so yes by definition they will need some veteran, bigger contract players.
And wouldn’t Backlund’s 10 team trade list would allow him to be exposed? I thought only NMC’s protected the player from waivers or expansion.
