What makes them good is coaching.
I wouldn't trade Gaudreau for anyone on Vegas.
I wouldn't trade Monahan for anyone on Vegas.
I wouldn't trade Hamilton for anyone on Vegas.
I wouldn't trade Brodie for anyone on Vegas.
I'd trade Gulutzan for Gallant in a heartbeat.
Coaching makes a big difference, the Knights and Penguins are perfect examples of this.
If you have a good coach, you have a good team, regardless of being an expansion team or a Stanley Cuo Champion.
If you have a bad coach, it doesn't matter how good your roster is.

I mostly agree...but they wouldn't trade anyone on their roster for Stajan or Brouwer. They have more forward depth for sure
That being said Calgary can and has played with and even beaten both these teams....just no consistency which could also be on the coach but players too. Vegas also has absolutely no pressure, must be nice.
