From the second the Golden Knights received the other 30 NHL teams' protected lists at about 7:30 AM (PT) on Sunday morning, the hockey world has been waiting for what will happen next.
Of course, Vegas' Expansion Draft picks won't be announced until Wednesday night.

Especially with a relative lack of trades leading up to the freeze, the general consensus is that McPhee's had a lot in the works.
After all, if teams wanted to shield players from McPhee, trading them to another club would've been one of their best options.
And with the lack of action around the league, the feeling amongst many is that these teams already have deals lined up with the Golden Knights.

The Golden Knights GM did, however, say that he believes he has many things lined up.
