The Vegas Golden Knights are the 31st NHL franchise. As an expansion team they were allowed to take one player (who was eligible to be drafted) from the other 30 NHL teams. Each team was able to protect either seven forwards, three defenceman and one goaltender or eight skaters and one goaltender. The full rules can be found here. The sixteenth team we are going to look at is the Montreal Canadiens.

The Canadiens finished seventh in the league in points, but their depth is not the greatest. Despite that, the Knights had a couple of good options to choose from.
