If you do, then regardless of what everybody thought at the time it happened, the rules were obviously too lenient.
Nothing can be done about it now (except piss and moan about it, and you bet I will) because they won't dial the rules back for Seattle, but it's total bull #### and I can't believe how many people are cool with it. But whatever each to their own I guess.

People are cool with it because (a) it's not LV's fault; (b) the other gms could have avoided it but they protected the wrong players or made stupid deals for LV to leave an unprotected player alone; and (c) other gms could probably have acquired a lot of the good LV players if they'd made some moves at the deadline or in the off season. I mean, why, Florida? Why, Minnesota?
People are cool with it because who expected Karlsson to do what he's done? Or because they are happy for guys like Fleury or Engelland or Perron, who are extending their careers really successfully.
