The expansion draft is 5 days away on the 20th and the selections will be revealed on the 21st. Las Vegas will be drafting their inaugural team from the other teams in the league. They will select 1 player from the unprotected list from each team (with some restrictions).

The B's biggest question comes on defense. They must protect Chara because of his NMC. They're also going to protect Torey Krug. That leaves 1 spot for 3 defensemen, K. Miller, C. Miller, and McQuaid. In all likelihood, one of the unprotected two will be Vegas' selection.
