— The NHL expansion draft will sting the Red Wings — just not in the way many felt it would.
Several national reports out of Las Vegas are stating the Red Wings will lose forward Tomas Nosek in the expansion draft tonight to the Vegas Golden Knights.
The selections will be officially announced Wednesday night during the NHL Awards Show in Las Vegas.
Nosek was chosen by the expansion team over NHL regulars such as goalie Petr Mrazek, defenseman Xavier Ouellet, and forward Riley Sheahan — three players largely being pegged as potential expansion picks by the Golden Knights.
