I'd guess that Powless and Joaquim are the two that get taken. The only exception I could see to this is if San Diego wants to avoid a bidding war over Bold, they take him and franchise him.
I don't see this happening since the Seals already traded away picks for Kyle Buchanan who is also a free agent. I think it only makes sense if they are planning on tagging him.
I don't see that unless they also use 1 of their 9 other picks on another goalie and now they only have 7 picks for runners. I think the Wings take Bold if he commits to play in Philly....unless your scenario gets Philly a guy like Corey Small, then maybe it would work.
