It’s taken almost a year, but the Golden Knights are about to become a team with players.
A day before the one-year anniversary of the NHL granting majority owner Bill Foley an expansion franchise, the team will reveal its 30 selections at the league’s Expansion Draft beginning at 5 p.m. Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena. The announcement will be made in conjunction with the NHL Awards Show and will be televised live throughout North America.
A handful of the selected players are expected to attend Wednesday’s event.
“It’s really hard to believe we’re here now and we’re submitting this list,” Vegas general manager George McPhee said at his Tuesday briefing at the team’s Summerlin offices.
