Why would that impact your respect for the NHL? After the expansion draft, it was essentially unanimous that their roster was going to struggle and it would be a while before any sort of success. It's a bit disingenuous to now complain that the draft rules were too easy or the league favored them in any way.
Sometimes things just click, and I actually like how they've built an actual team and have proven that the team is more important than the individual in the NHL.
