I went to a Knights vs. Sharks game and it was still about 75% Knights fans, even with the Sharks having fans in and around the area (Vegas has had lots of migration from California). There were quite a few people that seemed to be fans of both, as in, originally Sharks fans but now were cheering on the Knights since a team now existed in their city.
I was really skeptical of a team in Vegas, but so far, I've been really wrong on it. The city has really seemed to embrace the Knights. I think being the first of the big four really helped. You put an NHL team there after an NFL and NBA team, yeah, good luck...
