I think that Stajan is taken in the expansion draft, he only has one year left on his contract so at the deadline he would be able to get traded for a second/third round pick and if he doesn't live up to his contract in the next year it isn't as though the Knights are burdened with him for too long. The rest of the players either aren't good enough right now to be selected and play a role on a NHL team (Shinkaruk, Kuluk).

The Knights are going to be in a win now type of mode as at the current time they are the only game in town but soon it sounds like the NFL is going to be moving in and the rest of the city being the entertainment capital of the USA makes it so that there are plenty of alternatives for finite entertainment dollars.
