Room for Expansion: Predicting the Vegas Golden Knights' Roster in 2017
The NHL Expansion Draft is coming fast. Where do the Golden Knights stand, and who may be playing in the desert come next season?

Carolina Hurricanes

For the Carolina Hurricanes, most of their viable options are being protected. That leaves a few low-risk options open for selection, and Viktor Stalberg makes for a decent choice. Stalberg put up impressive numbers in stints with the Blackhawks, Nashville Predators, New York Rangers, and now Carolina, and he has proven that he can be a top-six forward if needed. Stalberg is probably best used in a bottom-6 role as shown by his respectable career average of about 20 to 25 points per season. This pick would give Vegas some valuable secondary scoring, a key piece in which multiple other teams have had trouble finding over the years.
