NHL’s trade/signing freeze comes off at 1pm ET today and Seattle has several deals to announce
For those of us watching the expansion draft waiting for the trades, we were disappointed. No trades were announced. And apparently that was for a reason. Seattle made no trades. None. Nada. Zip.
#SeaKraken made no trades with any teams prior to the expansion draft https://t.co/FL8srx5ZGK

With Mark Giordano being on stage last night, you’d think maybe that ends the Giordano to the Rangers rumors, which had rumblings of including Ryan Strome. The snowball effect there was including Zac Jones in any potential Jack Eichel (or insert center here) trade.
However we will all find out what those side-deals were for the picks made on Seattle’s half at around 1pm ET today.
For those wondering, Seattle’s side deals for the expansion draft—and there are apparently several—will be announced tomorrow after 1pm et when the NHL’s trade/signing freeze comes off.
