Ottawa Senators

The Ottawa Senators have chosen to protect:

Forwards
Colin White
Connor Brown
Austin Watson
Nicholas Paul
Brady Tkachuk
Logan Brown
Drake Batherson

Defense
Thomas Chabot
Nikita Zaitsev
Victor Mete

Goaltender
Filip Gustavsson

Prediction: The Kraken will select Vitaly Abramov. The left-winger is still a prospect who played mostly for the Belleville Senators this past season. He has been sensational in the AHL, so the Kraken will hope that his game translates to the NHL. Abramov is a 23-year-old RFA who was paid $730,833 this past season.

Philadelphia Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers have chosen to protect:

Forwards
Claude Giroux
Kevin Hayes
Travis Konecny
Sean Couturier
Oskar Lindblom
Scott Laughton
Nicolas Aubé-Kubel

Defense
Ivan Provorov
Ryan Ellis
Travis Sanheim

Goaltender
Carter Hart

Prediction: The Kraken will select Shayne Gostisbehere. Having chosen to protect seven forwards and three defensemen put the Flyers in a position to lose their 28-year-old Dman. Gostisbehere is on a $4.5 million AAV.
