A Season of Mystery - Leg 12 - Vegas Golden Knights Roster Challenge

The Las Vegas Golden Knights are ready to make their big splash, and will be filling out their roster in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft!

In our 12th leg of the Season of Mystery Contest, sponsored by Frameworth Sports, you will have a small task in predicting how the Golden Knights roster will look after the Draft.



The protected lists will be made available on Sunday, June 18th - each team is able to cover 7F, 3D, and 1G--or 8 skaters and a goalie. Everybody else is up for grabs.

Your task is to predict 10 players from 10 teams that will be selected by the new Las Vegas franchise.

For each correct prediction you will receive 1 point in the contest and 1 point in the Season of Mystery Contest. The winner, should there be no ties at the top, will receive a 3-point bonus. Any ties will see those three points evenly split (i.e. a 3-way tie sees each person get one bonus point). If you correctly predict all 10 of your players, you will receive a 2 point bonus. Some valuable points are at stake here!

The teams will submit their lists to the NHL on Saturday the 17th by 5pm EDT. Vegas will be doing their work of selecting players from the 18th to 20th, with the big reveal happening at NHL Awards Night on the 21st.

Any names that "leak" early (and have confirmation--we won't just go by rumours being spread around) will be removed from consideration so as to avoid any "freebie" guesses. Participants will be allowed to select another team's player.

You can pick any ten teams and their respective players you wish.

One entry per member. Deadline for entry is the end of the day on June 20th.

Good luck!

Everyone seems to think that Fleury is a slam dunk but I keep asking myself how do you pass on a center like Bonino when their are so many goaltending options. With that in mind my ten picks for Vegas are as follows:

Florida – Jonathan Marchessault – C - YES
Nashville – James Neal – RW - YES
Toronto – Kerby Rychel – LW - NO
Colorado – Mikael Grigorenko - C - NO
Calgary Alex Chiasson – RW - NO
Vancouver – Luka Sbisa – D - YES
Ottawa - Marc Methot - D - YES
Tampa Bay – Andrej Sustr - D
Winnipeg – Toby Enstrom – D - NO
New York – Antti Raanta – G _ NO
San Jose – Aaron Dell - G - NO


Good luck to all.
