Wochit

In two weeks, the Detroit Red Wings will know which one of their players will be wearing a Golden Knights uniform.

The clock is ticking for teams to pick whom to protect in the expansion draft that will supply NHL newcomer Las Vegas with its roster. It’s on the agenda for Wings general manager Ken Holland as he meets this week with his pro scouts and Jeff Blashill to fine-tune off-season plans.

The list has to be submitted to Central Registry and the NHLPA by 5 p.m. June 17. Vegas has to submit its list of selections by 10 a.
