McPhee: Trade talks to end, Golden Knights will be selected Tuesday

Time is running out for the other 30 general managers to get their way in the expansion draft process.

Speaking to reporters Monday, Vegas Golden Knights general manager George McPhee indicated he has put a deadline on discussions with his colleagues as they pertain to making deals to ensure exposed players are or are not selected, depending on the situation.

"Today will be the last day that we are going to have those discussions," he said. "We are going to pick our team (Tuesday)."

The Golden Knights must select one player from each team, including at least 14 forwards, nine defensemen, and three goaltenders. A minimum of 20 of those players must be under contract for 2017-18, and McPhee is free to speak to unprotected free agents to gauge their interest in joining the team.

McPhee must submit his selections by 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday, while the roster will be announced that night at the NHL Awards.
