Alert the media! Have you heard about the Lindbergh Baby???
The NHL is expanding to 31 teams to start the 2017-18 season. However, that new franchise needs players to be able to ice a team. Where do they get that?? Well, they hold an expansion draft in which the newest franchise, the Vegas Golden Knights, select players from the existing teams in the league to assemble their roster.
Mock drafts have popped out all over the league as everyone wants to guess at which players get exposed or protected for Vegas. For Minnesota, the Wild will lose a decent player to the Golden Knights.
