The best team is figured out through an 82 game season, but people adore tournaments and think whoever wins one is actually better, and attribute it to all kinds of unquantifiable factors that never include random variation.

To your second para that’s probably true and I agree.
To the first, oh I’m not mad at Vegas. I just think they are intentionally circumventing the spirit and intent of the salary cap. That’s fine, and quite frankly that stuff will always happen by all teams, but when it does it’s up to the league to find and snuff out those issues to preserve the league’s integrity. If it doesn’t, they run the risk of basically not really having the system they set out to install in the first place and which cost fans a year of missing hockey to endure to get it. So, you either want integrity and a league that takes itself seriously or you don’t.
