Well now that we know the lists, I re-did my expansion draft. Where there have been reported or rumored deals with Vegas, I selected the player rumored to be going there (i.e. Fleury, Vatanen, Calvert). I selected a mix of veterans to help the team right away, and some young prospects that are close to contributing. I did NOT select any pending UFAs for ease of this exercise. Only RFAs or players under contract were selected. The total cap hit is $72 million, but that's with all the players listed and not the final roster. Here's what I ended up with for a lineup:

Mike Cammalleri-Tomas Plekanec-James Neal
Jonathan Marchessault-Cody Eakin-Michael Grabner
Matt Calvert-Marcus Kruger-Lee Stempniak
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare-Mikhail Grigorenko-Dmitrij Jaskin

Minors: Hunter Shinkaruk, Nick Shore, Kerby Rychel, William Carrier, Teemu Pulkinnen, Brendan Gaunce

Sami Vatanen-Marc Methot
Calvin de Haan-Toby Enstrom
Adam McQuaid-Matt Dumba
David Schlemko

Minors: Mark Fayne, Slater Koekkoek

Marc-Andre Fleury-Petr Mrazek

Minors/Trade bait: Philipp Grubauer


Quite frankly, this is a pretty solid team that could be on the playoff bubble if things go well. There's lot of flexibility as almost everyone is on a 1 or 2 year deal.
