Every team in the National Hockey League has officially submitted their protected list for the 2021 Seattle Kraken Expansion Draft. The Kraken is going to make their selections on Wednesday as they take one player from each team in the league. There are going to be a lot of teams that make big trades with Seattle as a part of the event. The Chicago Blackhawks protected list looks pretty much exactly what you would expect it to look like.

On Wednesday, we can only hope that the Chicago Blackhawks let Seattle take someone that they don’t desperately need. There are a lot of players available to them but there are some that you know for a fact they won’t want.

F – Henrik Borgstrom

F – Alex DeBrincat

F – Brandon Hagel

F – David Kampf

F – Patrick Kane

F – Dylan Strome

F – Jonathan Toews

D – Caleb Jones

D – Connor Murphy

D – Riley Stillman

G – Kevin Lankinen

The Chicago Blackhawks have one of the more interesting protected expansion lists.

The trade of Duncan Keith for Caleb Jones made this list look a little different than we would have originally thought. Now, the Hawks got to protect three rather young players on the blue line which helps them so much more. As for the protected forwards, guys like Toews, Kane, and DeBrincat lead the pack. It was interesting to see them protect kids like Hagel and Borgstrom but it makes perfect sense.
