Several former NCAA players changed teams Wednesday in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft, to help stock the new Vegas Golden Knights franchise:
Jon Merill New Jersey (Michigan)
Connor Brickley Florida (Vermont)
Jason Garrison Tampa Bay (Minnesota-Duluth)
Erik Haula Minnesota (Minnesota)
Trevor van Riemsdyk* Chicago (New Hampshire)
Nate Schmidt Washington (Minnesota)
* van Riemsdyk was subsequently traded to Carolina on Thursday
The Golden Knights will also have 13 selections in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, which gets underway tonight in Chicago (7 p.m. ET, NBCSN) and continues all day Saturday (10 a.m. ET, NHL Network). It marks the second time in four years that the NHL Entry Draft and the NCAA Frozen Four will be held in the same city in the same year, the last coming in 2014 in Philadelphia.
