The Vegas Golden Knights are the 31st NHL franchise. As an expansion team they were allowed to take one player (who was eligible to be drafted) from the other 30 NHL teams. Each team was able to protect either seven forwards, three defenceman and one goaltender or eight skaters and one goaltender. The full rules can be found here. The fourteenth team we are going to look at is the Los Angeles Kings.
Los Angeles Kings
For the second time in three season, the Kings missed the playoffs. Their depth is not that great, giving Vegas not many good options to choose from.
