The Vegas Golden Knights will have the foundation of their first NHL roster by June 21 at the completion of the expansion draft. Before then, the league will have a wild few days as teams set their protection lists and fans anxiously await the announcements of who’s going to Vegas.
With the Stanley Cup Final already over, it’s now time to focus on what should be one of the most interesting weeks of the hockey year. This is the first expansion draft for the NHL since 2000, when the league welcomed the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild into the fold.
