The NHL didn't want a bottom feeder filled with AHL scrubs and so they went overboard the other way.
There has to be some middle ground between the expansion teams of the 90's / early 00's and this 109 point juggernaut that is half way to winning a Stanley Cup in year 1.

if the rules really were too biased for Vegas, you guys all would have noticed it last year instead of thinking vegas had a crappy team and McPhee did a poor job.
I just think your ire at Vegas being "gifted" a great team is misguided.
Vegas isn't good because of a slanted playing field, but because of shrewd management, excellent coaching, some dumb GM's, and for whatever reason over achieving players.
I can see being jealous of their success, but it's unfair to say it was based on an overly advantageous drafting scenario. they've earned what they've gotten.
If someone doesn't like it because it's their 1st season and they don't deserve it, (or as others have said, their fan base doesn't deserve it) that's just too bad.
just seems funny to hate on their success because it isn't what someone deems "fair"
