These pricks got to have a 109 point conference finalist right out of the gate because the draft rules were obviously way too goddamn lenient.

You weren't saying those things during the draft or during last summer. Everyone and their dog thought Vegas was going to finish near the bottom of the west.
They caught lightning in a bottle and are now excelling. No one thought a guy with 18 career goals in 185 games would all of a sudden score 43 goals. Is the NHL responsible for the fact that the Panthers chose to protect Petrovic instead of Marchessault?
Vegas got lucky, and the draft rules were not lenient at all. Saying otherwise is disingenuous.
