One last Seattle Kraken mega-thread!

I wanted to incorporate some changes/feedback and place a greater emphasis on cap space.

Please mute if you're not interested; it's going to be long.

1/52 Overall goals:
- competitiveness, obviously
- acquisition of trade chips
- a cap hit of around ~$60MM for maximum leverage

Let's start with the forwards.

Expansion draft mega-thread!

(In all seriousness, if you don't want to geek out on Kraken team-building, mute this thread.)

1/38 First, our objectives:
- obviously, win as many games as possible over the next five seasons
- secondly, find players to flip for futures; we don't have a farm system yet and we're taking 30 NHL-ready pieces but only have room for 23 of them.

2/38
