Report: Jets, Golden Knights made deal to shelter Enstrom from selection

Toby Enstrom doesn't appear to be going anywhere.

The Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights have worked out a deal to shelter the defenseman from being selected in the expansion draft, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

McKenzie adds the likely cost for the Jets to protect Enstrom is moving spots within the first round of Friday's NHL draft, and an additional selection in a later round.

Enstrom had agreed to waive his no-movement clause prior to the expansion process, but now it's apparent the Jets made the request with a view to protecting someone else while ensuring the veteran would not be lost.

Under contract for one more season at a cap hit of $5.75M, Enstrom registered one goal and 13 assists in 60 games this past season.

Winnipeg, by the way, owns the 13th overall pick in this year's draft.
