The Vegas Golden Knights played the long game in constructing the base of their first very NHL roster. Marc-Andre Fleury and James Neal were among the few high profile picks, which were revealed Wednesday evening during the NHL awards show in Las Vegas. McPhee took advantage of wide-ranging reluctance among clubs to lose valued contributors, adding promising defenceman Shea Theodore from Anaheim and first and second round picks from Columbus. Fleury, who also netted Vegas a second round pick, will likely be the face of the first roster. Full RosterGoaltendersJean-Francois Berube, N.Y.
