The Vegas Golden Knights might be taking your favorite player in the draft on Wednesday, but that’s okay, they’re taking a player from every team. Yes, even the Coyotes.
Now that the protection lists have been released, we have a better idea of how the Vegas roster could round out.
From now until Wednesday, June 21st at 10am EST/7am PST, the Golden Knights have an exclusive window to sign pending RFA/UFA players and select their players for the NHL Expansion Draft, which is on Wednesday 8pm EST/5pm PST with the NHL Awards.
If the Golden Knights sign an RFA/UFA from your team, that fulfills the requirement of each team giving Vegas a player.
