I don't have a huge issue with it. If the league is going to make the leap into a market like Vegas the last thing they'll want is a bottom feeder for 5-10 years. They'll want to make that franchise at least respectable right out of the gate.

Give them all the young players they need, if they hire a Doug MacLean it won't matter. That's always been a huge factor in why expansion teams flounder for so long. Penalizing all the existing teams for the poor desicions of previous expansion teams seems so bush league to me. San Jose, Florida and Minnesota all made the playoffs within 3 years, it's not impossible to get competitive quickly in the cap world especially.
All players drafted in the last 2 years and all players on ELCs should be excempt IMO.
