The forward group is meh. There might be some guys that are overpaid who get exposed and end up having decent seasons in Vegas to make the team somewhat respectable.
That's pretty much what happens with every expansion team. Good goalies, decent defence, weak forwards.

The one thing that Vegas has going for them is that free agency is a lot more open now than it was in past expansion years, so they can potentially throw some money at some UFA forwards to augment whatever they get in the expansion draft.
