LAS VEGAS -- The team the Vegas Golden Knights selected Wednesday in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft presented by T-Mobile has some immediate credibility in both the high-profile nature of some of the players and the underlying numbers related to the 30-man roster.
The Golden Knights chose one player from each of the other 30 NHL teams and wound up similar to them in experience, height, weight and age.
Here is a look, by the numbers, at the team announced at T-Mobile Arena, the home of the Golden Knights, who play their first NHL game Oct. 6 at the Dallas Stars.
