With their first expansion draft picks, the Vegas Golden Knights selected goalie Calvin Pickard, forwards William Carrier, Cody Eakin, Jonathan Marchessault, Teemu Pulkkinen, Tomas Nosek, and defensemen Brayden McNabb, Jon Merrill and Luca Sbisa.
Additionally, the Knights acquired Reilly Smith from the Panthers as well as one pick each from Florida and the Buffalo Sabres (attached to the Carrier selection).
The players were revealed in reverse order of their originating team's regular season standings, meaning the Colorado Avalanche's player (Pickard) came off the board first, while the Washington Capitals' pick will be announced last.
