from Chuck Gormley at/of ESPN,

"We're not fooling around here," McPhee said. "We hired an outstanding staff and we're going to do the same thing with players -- getting good, quality people -- and build a winner. I don't know what we're going to look like, but what I'd like to have is a team that has everything -- talent, depth, size, grit, speed, all of that. Can we do it all in Year One? I don't know, but we're going to try."

Here are four NHL teams that might try enticing McPhee to either take -- or, in some cases, not take -- their players leading up to the NHL expansion draft, for which every team can protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender; or eight skaters (forwards and defensemen) and one goalie:

Nashville Predators

Nashville GM David Poile will have $17 million in cap space this summer, but much of that will go to restricted free agent forwards Ryan Johansen, Viktor Arvidsson, Austin Watson and, perhaps, veteran unrestricted free agent center Mike Fisher. To make room, they may want the Golden Knights to take either forward Craig Smith (3 years, $4.25 million per) or Colin Wilson (2 years, $3.94 million per) off their hands. If McPhee can get an extra draft pick or two, he may be willing to make a deal.

more, other teams mentioned are the Blue Jackest, Wild and Sharks....
