I dont cheer for vegas the expansion team. I cheer for the players that were given up on by their teams that make up the Knights. It's a good human story.
As for who deserves this or doesnt deserve that? Who cares. You build the best team you can given the circumstances. Just look at the Oilers and Buffalo, both garbage teams that paid their dues. Do you want them to succeed? Id rather see Vegas succeed.
Should we help Vancouver out because they never won? Only fair they get their cup after all these years, right?
I think a lot of GMs over complicated their situations and vegas took advantage of it. Should we feel sorry for Pitts because they gave away MAF? They had another goalie. One that sucked vs Wsh. But they chose to keep him.
Would Florida want a mulligan or two? You bet. They made a huge mistake. Can we blame Vegas? FLA could have offered some other players. But they chose to keep them instead.
Werent we happy that Engelland wanted to go there? We hit a jackpot. Only now we realize that muscle and ledership does mean something. We were all wrong. Blame vegas?
They have earned this run. Good on them.
