The Vegas Golden Knights had their expansion draft Wednesday during the NHL Awards at T-Mobile Arena. Here’s a look at each player the Golden Knights picked up.
Goaltenders
The Skinny: Fleury waived his no-move clause this month after his play and leadership helped the Penguins win their second consecutive Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights also acquired a 2020 second-round pick from Pittsburgh.
The skinny: The Avalanche chose to protect veteran goalie Semyon Varlamov over the younger and cheaper Pickard, who was Colorado’s second-round pick in 2010 (49th overall) and is considered a capable backup and stellar teammate.
