I don't agree with leaving Eddie Gaven off. I would have left off Iro before Gaven. I don't think that was a good idea.
Over the stretch run and second half of the season he was our best winger, even better than Rogers. Looks like we saw the last of Eddie Gaven.
And, I hope Ezra is retiring, because that's just insane if we protected Ezra over Gaven, Evans, Lenhart, Duncan, and about half that list.

I think you have to put Gaven on the list over Iro.
They're both young players, but Iro is there as security in case Marshall leaves, which is pretty likely at least by next summer.
With Gaven you have Ekpo and Noonan who can both play wing. So while I don't want to see him go, I at least know we're not going to be hurting at the position.
Where this draft hurts us the most is the Champions League next year, because I think with this year's team we had the depth to do well in the group stage.
No matter where we lose a player it's going to make that position thin.
As far as Lenhart goes, I think he might be a 'Generation Adidas' player. They can't be taken in the draft, so you don't have to list them in your list.
Another interesting rule is that a developmental player (like Moffat) who is taken must be offered a senior spot on Seattle's team.
So it might be less likely they will take those players knowing they have to pay them bigger money.
Is this an offical list or just speculative?
