As the news trickles in ahead of the NHL Awards show, we finally have news of Calgary’s loss during the expansion draft. The Vegas Golden Knights have selected, and will presumably sign, 35 year old defenceman Deryk Engelland.
Vegas selecting Engelland per @JSportsnet fulfills their requirement from the #Flames. Keeping Kulak is a nice bonus for Calgary.

Honestly, this is probably the safest bet you could make for Vegas’ team. Engelland has a home in Vegas and first broke into the pros on the ECHL’s Wranglers.
