It sounds like the Islanders are going to give Vegas a 1st round pick so Vegas doesn't pick one of their unprotected forwards.

Protected list for each team. https://www.nhl.com/news/protected-list-for-vegas-golden-knights-nhl-expansion-draft/c-289972722?tid=289242400

https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golden-knights-nhl/vegas-golden-knights-will-be-careful-chasing-nhl-free-agents/

Flames protected list: Gaudreau Monahan Ferland Backlund Frolik Bennett Lazar Giordano Brodie Hamilton Smith

It's sounding like Vegas could end up with 3 first round picks.

I think the Golden Knights will give him the contract he wants. I could see some high end free agents ending up in Vegas.

The Wild were trying to trade Brodin and Scandella. There's talk that there will be talk between the Wild and Golden Knights on passing on unprotected players that the Wild want to keep. It also sounds like Zucker gets the last protected spot or is exposed.

Vegas is willing to pass on players for draft picks.

I'm not sure how the free agents work, I think he is still part of the Capitals until July 1st.

Capitals protected list: Ovechkin Backstrom Kunetsov Burakovsky Johansson Eller Wilson Niskanen Carlson Orlov Holtby

Kings Protected list: Kopitar Carter Toffoli Pearson Doughty Muzzin Martinez Forbort Quick

Looks like Oshie won't be protected by the Capitals. Neither will Nate Schmidt.

There is talk that Nashville and Vegas are in talks for the expansion draft.

Time to see if he gets protected.

The roster freeze is in effect, no more trades until after the draft. The only trades tomorrow can be made with the Golden Knights.

Wild might make a deal with the Golden Knights to not take Brodin, Scandella, and Dumba. Haula could be exposed, but you have to think any deal with the Golden Knights is going to involve Zucker to the Golden Knights.

It sounds like the Blue Jackets will trade the 24th overall pick and a prospect to the Golden Knights. The NHL was stupid for not letting the Golden Knights be just Knights because of a team in the OHL.

Mike Smith traded to Calgary for Chad Johnson, Brandon Hickey and a conditional 3rd

Lmao

USA Hockey needs to stop ruining hockey. #makehockeygreatagain

The ACC needs another team, but that's a big area if they add Utah. Arizona has the best facility hockey wise. $50 million endowment is easier for Utah then most non-P5 schools. Hockey is the rumor from some Ute fans. Utah could always add track & Field.

There is a fan of theirs on USCHO that said he believes they are waiting for the arena to be finalized then a conference. He was thinking that after the meetings in Naples that ASU would join the WCHA. He said that he heard the WCHA wants ASU to pay travel costs for the members of the WCHA to come to Tempe. I still believe they end up in the NCHC. The rumor now is that Utah will add hockey now that they added lacrosse.

I don't see them going to the B1G, The B1G would have to take Denver just to make the conference even and that's not happening. Utah is in the same boat as Arizona State is for hockey, the Pac-12 and member institutions are going to wait and see what Utah's profits are before anyone else adds the sport to varsity. So if UND added lacrosse it would need to have $15 to $30 million endowment (just for a men's team). The costs are going to be $2 million a year and no guarantee that UND will make that money back (Denver made $1 in profit two years ago). If UND ever adds lacrosse they would need a group of schools in the area to add lacrosse to cut travel costs and the operating costs of $2 million. I have no problem with UND adding lacrosse, the chances it happens in the next 5 years is low, but the moment UND says they will add it the twins and their women's hockey group will come out and demand the school bring back the women's hockey program. Now if the rumors are true its time to see if Utah adds hockey next.

He's taking it to Minnesotaaa!!!!! That's what he said he's going to do on the video that make puck retweeted. I'm sure Omaha has been making plans to retire Guentzel's and Archibald's jerseys to start the year. They have to be like UND.

Smh What's next Adidas branded equipment. #makehockeygreatagain
