I'm not sure what the Kraken are doing here...
I would've selected a player and then signed Larsson later after free agency officially opens. Unless there was no guarantee he would sign if he hit the full open market I don't see the need to make a UFA player an official selection from a team.
Maybe there's a trade to come where the Kraken pick someone off another team and flip him to Edmonton for a draft pick or another player for this UFA signing to be the official expansion draft pick?
Ditto for Oleksiak.

Edmonton I can kind of understand. I thought Kraken would draft Klefbom but he apparently has a career threatening injury (a real one, not a carey price thing) at the moment. Outside of Kelfbom there was really no one of value for Seattle so why not just sign Larson.
Oleksiak is weird to me. He is a Big guy but not someone good enough that I would waste a pick on as a ufa, especially with Ben Bishop sitting there to be grabbed. Unless of course they are planning on grabbing Price.
