Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild have chosen to protect:

Forwards
Mats Zuccarello
Kevin Fiala
Marcus Foligno
Jordan Greenway
Ryan Hartman
Joel Eriksson Ek
Nico Sturm

Defense
Jared Spurgeon
Matt Dumba
Jonas Brodin

Goaltender
Cam Talbot

Prediction: The Kraken will select Kaapo Kähkönen. The goaltender is a 24-year-old earning $725,000 per year. The Wild will hate to lose Kähkönen but they needed to protect Talbot.

Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens have chosen to protect:

Forwards
Josh Anderson
Tyler Toffoli
Brendan Gallagher
Joel Armia
Artturi Lehkonen
Jesperi Kotkaniemi
Jake Evans

Defense
Jeff Petry
Ben Chiarot
Joel Edmundson

Goaltender
Jake Allen

Prediction: The Kraken will select Brett Kulak. This 27-year-old defenseman has played 260 games in the NHL and should be a useful hand in Seattle on one of their lower pairings in the lineup. He will be paid $1.85 million for next season.
