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?

Chicago Blackhawks

Ville Pokka is incredibly unproven in the NHL, but he may have the highest ceiling of any prospect who is available from Chicago. He has put up 30- and 45-point seasons as a defenseman in the AHL, which is incredibly impressive for a 22-year old. Overall, Pokka is probably the most shot-in-the-dark pick for the Golden Knights, but he could potentially become a franchise player. Chicago can't protect him due to the absurd number of no-move clauses they have issued to their star players. If he pans out, Pokka can be a centerpiece for Vegas in the future.
