Jean-Francois Berube part of deal between Islanders, Golden Knights: report

New York Islanders goaltender Jean-Francois Berube could be selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL Expansion Draft, TSN reported Wednesday.

As part of a reported larger deal, Vegas would acquire forward Mikhail Grabovski and the Islanders' first-round pick (No. 15) in the upcoming draft in exchange for selecting Berube.

Berube, 25, played 14 games for the Islanders this season and can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. New York carried three goalies -- Berube, Thomas Greiss and Jaroslav Halak -- for much of the season. The Islanders protected Greiss in the expansion draft.
