Gerard Gallant has not bookmarked Cap Friendly's expansion draft tool.

In fact, the first head coach in Vegas Golden Knights history has not spent any time at all attempting to project the team's roster after this , he told team insider Gary Lawless.

"I'll coach the players we get," Gallant said. "And as long as we're working hard - we'll be just fine."

Gallant also said he received a call from Golden Knights general manager George McPhee only a couple of weeks after being fired by the Florida Panthers in late November.

He first interviewed for the head coaching job a few weeks after the call, and knew right then he wanted the gig, although the the official announcement of his hiring was made on April 13.

Despite not doing any personal projections, Gallant expects some "real good players" to be selected by McPhee in the expansion draft.

Results will be made public at the NHL Awards on June 21.
