For one historic week, the Vegas Golden Knights were takers.
They took Marc-Andre Fleury from Pittsburgh, Marc Methot from Ottawa and James Neal from Nashville.
They took players they needed now, players they needed for the future and players they really didn’t need at all. And they took first-round picks, second-round picks and picks that they won’t be making for another two years.
As a result of all the maneuvering in the expansion draft, Vegas had a total of 13 selections in last NHL Entry Draft, including three in the top 15 and three in the second round.
