Keep in mind that some (many?) of these players may be traded immediately after the NHL roster freeze lifts at 8 a.m. ET on Thursday, as the Knights try to acquire as many future draft picks as they can. They reportedly already have a dozen such trades settled on, with more expected through the end of the week as the NHL entry draft gets underway.
