BREAKING : IMPORTANT Golden Knights details still being negotiated.
Keystone press agency

The Golden Knights are approaching their historic expansion draft. With the roster counting only 2 players so far, obviously the addition of a complete roster will help a great deal. It's still to be known whether the expansion team will be competitive or not, but some very important details are still being negotiated. 




In plain English, what that means is that if the Golden Knights signs a player with the RFA or UFA status, it could count as an expansion draft pick. As a reminder, each team must protect a few players in their roster and the Vegas organization gets to chose among what's left. They can only pick one player out of each roster, which makes it very strategic. 


The UFA signing season will be open on July 1st. However, Vegas has a special right to negotiate and sign players before any other team. However, if the terms make it that any UFA/RFA becomes an expansion pick, it's a whole other ballgame. 

We will follow this issue closely!
