Call him Trader George.

Golden Knights general manager George McPhee has ruled the hockey world since Saturday when the NHL Expansion Draft rules went into effect.

The final total? Thirty-seven players taken, 30 in the actual expansion draft. The addition of nine draft picks in various rounds stretching into 2020 while giving up a couple of third- and fourth-round selections.

McPhee didn’t stick around long enough to admire his handiwork. He was out the door and off to the airport to catch a flight to Chicago to prepare for Friday’s NHL Entry Draft, where the Golden Knights have three of the first 15 selections in the first round.
