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 23rd team we are going to look at is the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins won the Stanley Cup last year, becoming the first back-to-back champions in the salary cap era. They had a lot of depth on offence, defence and in net, giving Vegas a lot of good options to choose from.
