NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – July 19, 2021
Report: Price dealing with knee injury that may require surgery
As the Seattle Kraken evaluate the risks and benefits of choosing Carey Price in the expansion draft, it turns out they may have another legitimate reason to pass on the Montreal Canadiens netminder.
Price will see a doctor in New York this week about a knee issue that may require surgery, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun. The goaltender will also have his hip evaluated.
Seattle is reportedly conducting a "deep dive" to determine whether to select him.

The NHL also reportedly told the Kraken and Canadiens it won't allow a transaction that includes Seattle picking Price and then trading him back to Montreal or the Canadiens packaging draft picks and other assets in exchange for the Kraken retaining more of the goalie's salary.
The league reportedly views those actions as ways of circumventing the salary cap.
Price waived his contract's no-movement clause to allow Montreal to expose him in Wednesday's expansion draft. Price's decision lets the Canadiens protect fellow netminder Jake Allen, who would have been available as teams can only shield one goalie and must protect any player with a no-move clause.
Price, who'll be 34 in August, is under contract through 2025-26 at a cap hit of $10.5 million. He struggled in the recently concluded Stanley Cup Final and during the 2021 regular season but played a major factor in Montreal making an improbable run to the championship round.

Protected lists revealed for Kraken expansion draft
NHL teams released their protected lists ahead of Wednesday's expansion draft for the Seattle Kraken.
The Vegas Golden Knights, who joined the league for the 2017-18 season, are exempt from the expansion draft and won't lose a player to the NHL's newest franchise. However, the Kraken still have 30 other teams to select from, and there are plenty of intriguing players up for grabs.
The deadline for clubs to submit their lists was Saturday at 5 p.m. ET.
The 2021 expansion draft will follow the same rules as the 2017 expansion draft that welcomed the Golden Knights to the NHL:
- Each team must submit a protected list of seven forwards, three defensemen, and one goalie or eight skaters and one goalie
- Any player with a no-movement clause must be protected unless the player waives it
- Each team must expose two forwards, one defenseman, and one goalie who are under contract and played at least 40 games this past season or 70 combined games over the last two seasons
- All first- and second-year players, as well as unsigned draft picks, are exempt from selection
- Any player with a career-ending injury is exempt from selection

All players exposed to Seattle in expansion draft
Now that every NHL team has submitted its list of protected players for Wednesday's expansion draft, the Seattle Kraken can officially start to decide who they want to select.
Several big-name players have been made available, including Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, St. Louis Blues sniper Vladimir Tarasenko, and Calgary Flames captain Mark Giordano. There are also plenty of stars who were left unprotected - such as Alex Ovechkin and Gabriel Landeskog - that are also impending free agents.

Blue Jackets won’t protect Domi in expansion draft
Max Domi's days with the Columbus Blue Jackets may be numbered.
The club will expose the forward in Wednesday's expansion draft, reports The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.
However, Columbus isn't hoping to lose Domi during the proceedings, according to Portzline, who adds that Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen is betting Domi's injured shoulder will dissuade the Seattle Kraken from taking the six-year veteran.
Domi collected only nine goals and 15 assists over 54 games with the Blue Jackets this season. He underwent surgery to repair a labral tear in his right shoulder in June and is likely to be out for the first month or two of 2021-22. He was also made a healthy scratch by then-head coach John Tortorella in April after multiple on-ice outbursts.
Columbus acquired Domi in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Josh Anderson in October. The Blue Jackets signed Domi to a two-year contract with a $5.3-million cap hit shortly after landing him.
Domi posted career highs with 28 goals and 44 assists while playing all 82 games for the Canadiens in 2018-19.
All NHL teams were required to submit their protected lists by 5 p.m. ET on Saturday. The league will release the lists at 10 a.m. ET on Sunday, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

NHL 2021 Expansion Draft Player Protection Lists
Sunday NHL Rumor Roundup – July 18, 2021
NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – July 18, 2021
Report: Avalanche exposing Landeskog in expansion draft
The Colorado Avalanche won't protect captain Gabriel Landeskog in Wednesday's expansion draft, reports the Denver Post's Mike Chambers.
All of the league's teams submitted their protected lists before 5 p.m. ET on Saturday. The lists will be made public Sunday morning. Landeskog and all other unprotected possible free agents are able to meet with the Kraken and sign with them between that time and the expansion draft on Wednesday night, according to Chambers.
If Landeskog and the Kraken were to come to an agreement during that period, he would count as Seattle's pick from Colorado. If they don't reach a deal, he could still sign with them or any other team if he becomes a UFA when free agency opens on July 28.
On Tuesday, it was reported that the Avalanche and Landeskog were "not even close" in contract talks. The next day, the Swedish winger said he was disappointed with the fact that negotiations were at an impasse. The St. Louis Blues will reportedly make a strong push for Landeskog if he reaches the market.
The 28-year-old racked up 20 goals and 32 assists over 54 games this season. He's spent his entire 10-year career with Colorado, which drafted him second overall in 2011. The Avalanche named him captain in 2012-13.
