The expansion draft can be a fun exercise, but it’s also a stressful time for fans that have become attached to certain players on their team.

Each team was allowed to protect seven forwards, three defencemen and one goalie, so there’s bound to be a couple players out there fans will be upset about losing.

Of the Montreal Canadiens left exposed, there were discussions around which player the Vegas Golden Knights would take. Would they take Brandon Davidson, Tomas Plekanec, Charles Hudon… or maybe the player who followed the Golden Knights on Instagram Wednesday?

The player referenced above following the Golden Knights on Instagram was Alexei Emelin, and while we don’t like to jump to conclusions based on social media, he may be headed to Vegas.
