I agree with the points about team chemistry and the value of a proven winner with elite talent in net can't be overstated, but the other thing that I think is critical is the fact that the Vegas roster is not cast offs. They are all roster players on other teams and middle of the roster depth at that. Where Vegas has a team building advantage IMO is that their players are all developed. They are not in the process of developing players this season and they don't have any over the hill vets on bloated contracts.

I still feel that they have lightning in a bottle right now, and the future could still be bumpy as all the problems that other teams have to face become problems for Vegas, but they sure have it going right now.
