Here’s a running list of players as they are announced. Multiple picks will be revealed at a time throughout the NHL Awards show here at T-Mobile Arena, home of the Golden Knights. They will go in reverse order of the 2016-17 NHL standings, meaning the pick from Colorado will be revealed first and Washington will be announced last.

1. From the Colorado Avalanche, goaltender Calvin Pickard.
2. From the Vancouver Canucks, defenseman Luca Sbisa.
3. From the Arizona Coyotes, forward Teemu Pulkkinen.
4. From the New Jersey Devils, defenseman Jon Merrill.
5. From the Buffalo Sabres, forward William Carrier. Vegas also acquired a 2017 sixth-round pick from Buffalo in exchange for agreeing not to select two other unnamed Sabres players they would have liked.
6. From the Dallas Stars -- owner Bill Foley went off script and accidentally announced this one early, lol -- forward Cody Eakin. Dallas and Detroit both start with D; I guess that was confusing for him.
7. From the Detroit Red Wings, forward Tomas Nosek.
8. From the Florida Panthers, forward Jonathan Marchessault. Vegas also acquired forward Reilly Smith from the Panthers in exchange for a 2018 fourth-round pick. Florida was trying to get out of Smith’s contract.
9. From the Los Angeles Kings, defenseman Brayden McNabb.
10. From the Carolina Hurricanes, forward Connor Brickley. Carolina also traded a 2017 fifth-round draft pick to Vegas.
11. From the Winnipeg Jets, forward Chris Thorburn. A trade happened here as well but it won’t be announced until later in the evening. INTRIGUE! (Update: this tied into the Columbus expansion pick. See No. 27 below.)
12. From the Philadelphia Flyers, forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare.
13. From the Tampa Bay Lightning, defenseman Jason Garrison. The Golden Knights also acquired forward Nikita Gusev, a 2017 second-round pick and a 2018 fourth-round pick from the Lightning.
