Now that they have a name, the Vegas Golden Knights have to put a team on the ice.The newly named franchise will get its first 30 players through the expansion draft in June, and Vegas general manager George McPhee and colleagues around the NHL are already deep in preparations and mock-ups.Even though McPhee ran the Washington Capitals for 17 seasons, GMs around the NHL dont have any clue how hell piece together the Golden Knights.I dont have any inside knowledge what kind of team theyre planning to have, if its going to be younger or older -- no idea, longtime rival GM Ray Shero of the New Jersey Devils said by phone Wednesday. Hes been a GM for a long time in Washington -- I dont think that comes into play at all in terms of where theyre going to be in Vegas and what kind of player theyre going to be looking for. ... Maybe his opinion of some players has changed and the game where it is now, who knows.McPhee knows. And he knows that even as his front office does monthly mock drafts to prepare, things will change at the March 1 deadline and again before teams must submit their protected lists on June 17.Vegas wont be able to pick from top stars like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jonathan Toews or Patrick Kane, and first- and second-year pros like Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews are exempt. The NHL also sent out a preliminary list of 66 players who must be protected because of no-movement clauses in their contracts.Knowing each teams top six or seven players are off the board, McPhee said the Golden Knights scouting staff has certain bubble players to focus on. That could be a moving target as GMs make trades and signings to be expansion-draft compliant and not give up a top player.Theres going to be a massive player redistribution before the expansion draft in the weeks leading up to it, McPhee said. We understand teams are going to try to not give us anything, and thats the way expansion goes. There are a few teams that have expansion stress and we might be able to get a good player from them, and therell be some teams that dont have anything and rather than take a bad contract well take a throwaway pick.Thats one hint from McPhees past: He wont take on burdensome contracts. So dont expect Vegas to rid the Los Angeles Kings of the final five years and $5.875 million salary-cap hit of former captain Dustin Browns deal, the Devils the final four years and $5.75 million cap hit of center Travis Zajacs and the Philadelphia Flyers the final three years and $5 million cap hit of defenseman Andrew MacDonalds.Each team can protect seven forwards and three defensemen, or eight skaters of any position, plus one goalie, and all 30 will lose exactly one player. Even though the best will be protected, it figures to reason that the deepest teams are in the most danger of losing a quality player to Vegas.Take the Chicago Blackhawks, who have eight players with no-movement clauses they must protect and could lose someone like center Marcus Kruger or young defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk. Or the Tampa Bay Lightning, who will protect goaltender of the future Andrei Vasilevskiy and wont be able to keep 6-foot-7 pending free agent Ben Bishop, whether hes traded, taken by Vegas or signed by someone else.It adds another team for you, so I dont think its a bad thing at all, Bishop said of the expansion draft. Even if I wasnt a free agent, theres just that many good goalies in the league now and theres only so many spots.Chicago, Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh, which will have to do something with Marc-Andre Fleury to keep 2016 Stanley Cup-winning goalie Matt Murray, and other contenders like Alex Ovechkins Washington Capitals intend to worry about this season now and the expansion draft later.I think some of ours is contract related and will we be able to bring guys back or not bring guys back, Capitals GM Brian MacLellan said. Were constantly looking at it, but were not making decisions yet because our immediate priority is having a winning season here.One advantage for Vegas is that itll be able to acquire draft picks or prospects in exchange for not selecting certain players. Thats right up McPhees alley, too, as he tries to make good on owner Bill Foleys goal to win the Cup within six years.It all comes down to trying to build a good base but really doing well in the entry draft and getting our top players from the entry draft, McPhee said.---Follow Hockey Writer Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- In some ways, the Patriots last preseason game against the New York Giants on Thursday will serve as a sort of going away party for Tom Brady.Or at least a see you later.Bradys four-game suspension for his role in Deflategate begins Saturday as New England shifts to the regular season. Once it starts, Brady wont be eligible to rejoin the active roster until Oct. 3. His absence will mark the first regular-season games hes missed since 2008, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the season opener.The territory is so unfamiliar for the 39-year-old quarterback that hes not willing to share specifics about how he plans to spend his time away from the only team hes played for during his 16-year career.In case someone else is in this situation in the future, I dont want to give away all my tips, Brady said.During his suspension, Brady is not allowed to have contact with the Patriots or utilize team facilities.But NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed in an email to The Associated Press that Brady will be allowed to work with his close friend, personal trainer and health guru Alex Guerrero.Well that was nice of them, Brady cracked, when asked about being allowed access to a guy he also calls a close friend.Brady and Guerrero are partners in the TB12 Sports Therapy Center, which is located on the adjoining complex to Gillette Stadium. According to the Boston Globe , the Patriots have paid the firm to provide nutritional advice to their players.McCarthy said team medical staff will be allowed to check on Bradys progress with his personal trainer, but cannot discuss or pass on football information.That rule is standard for other players whose discipline includes staying away from the team facility.Brady said he and Guerrero would work together similarly to the way they have the past 12 years.Well use all these days in the best way thats possible to stay prepared and stay sharp. I have ideas of what I need to do based on all the practices that weve had and the limited playing time that Ive had, Brady said. My goal is to come back and be the best that I can be, just like every other year, every other offseason.dddddddddddd.Its customary for starters to sit out the final preseason game, with players fighting for roster spots typically playing most.But Brady might benefit from the extra snaps. He missed New Englands first preseason game to attend memorial services for a family member. He then sat out the second after accidentally cutting his right thumb with a pair of scissors.I wish I could play every game, he said. I like to play in practice, I love playing in preseason games, regular-season games, postseason games. I love thinking about football. Its just the way it is. So, that part I think will be very challenging watching those games in September. But Ill find ways to preoccupy my mind.Bradys absence isnt surprising this time, like in 2008. Thats why Belichick said its nothing worth dwelling on.Its out of our control, he said. Were not worried it. Were moving forward. Control what we can control. Do what we can do. The most interesting dynamic may be how the Patriots adjust without Bradys vocal presence on offense.That task would seemingly fall to Jimmy Garoppolo, who will start in Bradys place.The last time Brady could recall being in a similar situation to Garoppolo was coming out of college in 2000. Brady tried to spend the time learning from starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe and other veterans. But he said its difficult to gauge how Garoppolo has dealt with it because they are totally on different ends of the spectrum.I love being with Jimmy, Brady said. Ive enjoyed every day that weve spent with him. I wish him the very best, obviously, for our team, for him personally. When you see people that it means a lot to, you always want them to succeed as well. Itll be tough to watch, but Ill be excited to watch and excited to learn, and then hopefully, when I come back in October Ill be a better player than I am today.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
