It was an interesting day leading up to Father’s Day when, lets admit, most Canadian dads were waiting to see who their NHL team protected, and who they didn’t ahead of Wednesday’s expansion draft.

There’s a few guys I’m sure you’d like to get picked, and maybe a couple you don’t. Also, maybe there’s a rival team you’re hoping that the Vegas Golden Knights will take.

The hardest part is waiting. I thought maybe more moves would have been leaked (and there’s always today) but the NHL will announced the new Las Vegas team roster at the NHL awards Wednesday night. 6pm on Sportsnet and Sportsnet One.

Then we have the draft, then we have free agency, and before we know it teams will be back on the ice and playing the actual game we love and you’ll be criticizing the picks, trades, and moves your team did or didn’t make.
