Each NHL franchise, minus the Vegas Golden Knights, will have until July 17, 2020, to submit their protection list. Then, the Kraken will have four days to examine them and finalize their selections for the 21st.

As a quick and friendly reminder:

• The protection list can either be 1) seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie or 2) eight total skaters and one goalie.
• Players whose contracts include a no-movement clause must be protected.
• All first and second-year players, as well as all unsigned prospects, are exempt from being drafted by the Kraken.

So, who are the Jets going to protect? 

Here's my January 22nd preditction.

Forward: Wheeler (NMC), Connor, Laine, Scheifele, Ehlers, Lowry, Copp

Defense: Morrissey, Pionk, Stanley

Goalie: Hellebuyck

Seattle got only 2 real RHD after drafting 10. So there goes the RHD from Seattle theory.

THANK GOD! THEY PICKED DEMELO! 😴

Oh wait I was dreaming 😭

Thanks for the games 🍎's.

What are you talking about?

DeMelo is the jets leading defender in WAR. He legitimately makes Morrissey play like a top pairing guy again. If DeMelo was picked we would only have one good RHD in Pionk on the whole roster. 

Appleton is a third liner on the Jets.

DeMelo is way more valuable to the Jets. It's not even close

DeMelo on top pair is the angry version of the Clerks 2 debate.

So

Morrisey-Demelo

Stanley-Pionk

Heinola-???
