Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, was among the high-profile players left unprotected and available for the Golden Knights to select.
The Golden Knights' selection of 30 players-one from each NHL club-will be revealed at the 2017 NHL awards and expansion draft Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
