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.

Also, compared to past expansion teams, they'll *have to* spend enough money to at least meet the cap floor. Other teams in the past could just grin and bear it for a couple of seasons, LV will need a strategy on how to get to the cap floor at the same time they're experiencing their growing pains. It'll be interesting to watch unfold.
