Seattle Reunites Bilka with Knight in PWHL Expansion Draft
- The PWHL held its expansion draft Monday night, where Seattle selected Hilary Knight and reunited her with Hannah Bilka from Boston.
- The draft followed a five-day exclusive signing period and was required because existing teams could only protect three to four players.
- Boston lost four top players, including Knight who led the league with 29 points in 30 games and is a four-time Olympian planning to retire after 2026.
- Danielle Marmer, Boston's GM, called not protecting Knight her hardest decision, explaining she balanced performance, longevity, and salary cap limitations.
- The expansion process favors new teams to be competitive but leaves existing teams with roster challenges, suggesting future adjustments to draft formats.
