So, I just discovered CapFriendly's expansion draft picker, and thought it would be fun to see what people put together with it.

Here's my Golden Knights: https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/65143

(Here's a screenshot for people who don't want to click the link.)

Spoiler!

My plan, if I were the GM, would be to focus on young BPAs and then target a handful of goalies I could then trade to fill in the holes. Using the team I just drafted, for example, I would probably keep Lack and Grubauer as my goalies and trade Howard+ for a top-4 D, Niemi for a 2nd round pick and Pickard for a top 9 F. I may be off in my value estimates, but at least this shows what my plan is at any rate.

What would your Golden Knights look like?

Edit: Here's the link to the actual tool: https://www.capfriendly.com/expansion-draft. I toggled on "Enforce exposure requirement rules" and then hit the "Quick Protect" button to create a close-to-realistic pool. It has some quirks, like Pitts leaving Murray exposed, but it's just because they haven't done anything with MAF yet. Obviously, I ignored obvious exposures like Murray when picking my team.
