As the Vegas Golden Knights draw closer to revealing their expansion-drafted roster on Wednesday night, general manager George McPhee has confirmed that the team may not see all of their selections stay with the team beyond this week.

Per Yahoo Sports’ Greg Wyshynski, McPhee stated at Tuesday’s press conference that the team may make some ‘throwaway picks’ from franchises that don’t have much to offer, meaning they’ll grab some restricted free agents that they don’t plan to qualify.

This only applies to a select few teams. Many of the league’s most competitive rosters had to give up at least something good when they formed their protection lists, exposing at least one quality skater to the newest expansion franchise.
