Rumored Running List of Las Vegas Selections

The Vegas Golden Knights are A Thing.  It'll be official very soon and in the mean time there are the usual leaks of nuggets here and there.  Here's a running list of those leaks:

Toronto Maple Leafs

Rumblings the Toronto Maple Leafs will lose Brendan Leipsic in the expansion draft.

— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) June 21, 2017

 Los Angeles Kings

Sources lead us to believe LA Kings will be losing defenseman Brayden McNabb to Vegas Golden Knights in #NHLExpansionDraft

— The Mayor John Hoven (@mayorNHL) June 21, 2017

 Calgary Flames

Sounds like Deryk Engelland is the Calgary Flames player going to Vegas. He's a UFA ON July 1. #ExpansionDraft

— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) June 21, 2017

Editor Note: LOLOL

Anaheim Ducks

Let's start with ANA. The belief is VGK will claim Clayton Stoner, pass on Manson/Vatanen and, in return for all that, get Shea Theodore.

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 21, 2017

St. Louis Blues

David Perron sera réclamé par les Golden Knights de Las Vegas lors du repêchage d'expansion selon une source près du joueur. #VGK

— CarlVaillancourtJdeM (@CarlJdeM) June 21, 2017

Editors Note: Translation is "David Perron will be claimed by the Golden Knights of Las Vegas during the expansion draft according to a source near the player. #VGK"

New York Islanders

I'm hearing it's goaltender J-F Berube, as part of the larger deal between NYI and VGK: https://t.co/fVPATCrSiR

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 21, 2017

Minnesota Wild

SOURCES: #mnwild's Erik Haula signs with Vegas Golden Knights, Alex Tuch likely bound for Vegas by day's end https://t.co/Hxtho3c70x

— Michael Russo (@Russostrib) June 21, 2017

Detroit Red Wings

Hearing Tomas Nosek going to Vegas. If so, quite an indictment on some of NHLers Red Wings made available.

— Helene St. James (@HeleneStJames) June 21, 2017

Philadelphia Flyers

The #Flyers need new alternate captain with Bellemare headed to Vegas. @Kyle_Phillippi thinks it should be Provorov: https://t.co/Fzx05D6eIu pic.twitter.com/S2SEqdDaAb

— MetroPhilly (@MetroPhilly) June 21, 2017

San Jose Sharks

Believe that the Vegas expansion pick from San Jose is David Schlemko

— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) June 21, 2017

Edmonton Oilers

Griffen Reinhart is the Oiler going to the Desert. #ExpansionDraft

— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) June 21, 2017

Boston Bruins

And Colin Miller (BOS) https://t.co/H8vVWzQpTj

— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 21, 2017

Ottawa Sentaors

Hearing that VGK have selected Marc Methot in the expansion draft... whether or not he gets flipped over the next few days...

— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) June 21, 2017

Chicago Blackhawks

Next up, CHI. @frank_seravalli reported awhile back net result would be VGK getting Trevor van Riemsdyk and taking on Marcus Krueger.

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 21, 2017

Florida Panthers

It was suggested to me FLA's deal with VGK MAY actually be for Vegas to end up acquiring both Marchessault and Rielly Smith (also exposed).

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 21, 2017

Columbus Blue Jackets

Hear CLB player is indeed William Karlsson. FLA appears to be Jonathan Marchessault. LV has also apparently acquired a haul of draft picks.

— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 21, 2017

 Tampa Bay Lightning

Finally, TB. "Hearing" VGK may take Garrison contract from TB. No details beyond that; not yet sure on incentive or anything firm, TBH.

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 21, 2017

Montreal Canadiens

Got some better intel on #Habs, just to correct an earlier tweet. Looks like VGK is targeting Alexei Emelin - not Davidson.

— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) June 21, 2017

Nashville Predators

I would expect James Neal of NSH to be claimed by VGK in expansion draft, but remains to be seen how long he's there.

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 21, 2017

Dallas Stars

Source tells me #Winnipeg's & now former #Stars forward Cody Eakin is a Las Vegas #GoldenKnights #NHLExpansionDraft #NHL

— Jim Toth (@JimTothSports) June 21, 2017

New York Rangers

I believe the targeted Ranger is Lindberg. https://t.co/JBgC9cSh3y

— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) June 21, 2017

Pittsburgh Penguins

Next up, PIT. Get sense this may have been first of all deals done with VGK. PIT sends draft pick to VGK to ensure new home for M-A Fleury.

— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 21, 2017

Editor's Note: I don't want to talk about it

Washington Capitals

Hearing that smooth-skating D Nate Schmidt is Vegas-bound...

— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) June 21, 2017

Buffalo Sabres and New Jersey Devils

Closing up some of the loose ends lingering out there. Believe #Vegas takes William Carrier from BUF and Jon Merrill from NJD.

— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) June 21, 2017

We'll have more as they develop as we await word on Colorado, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Arizona, and Carolina.
