Multiple trades after the expansion draft were worked out. Bettmans fast tracking a competitive roster for sunny Vegas roster right to instantly being one of top 3 teams in the NHL. Then right on through to the SC final.
I am sure that every dedicated long term fan base that helped build the NHL through decades and decades of dedication & all their up & down seasons are just overjoyed to see Vegas fans get easy street., The seasons after season of frustration just to get a small dose of the playoffs is thrilled to see Bettman way over compensate LV
to build their team with Instant success as the result.
But there is a silver ling for Calgary.
This is really great news for any of he Flames fans worried about the team moving to Seattle or KC. Those new owners are not dumb they will say no no no Gary we want the Golden Knight treatment, we want your Vegas expansion draft Gary not a relocation team.
Your 2018 NHL hockey SC final will be Florida vs Nevada and please let the ratings suck. I hope hockey fans from every other fan base just find something better to do and ignore the SC final all together.

You don’t actually believe this do you? Any way you look at it. They are cast off players.
I honestly think the rallying behind the city after the tragedy played a HUGE part into their success this year.
Vegas wasn’t favored to do jack. Get over it, and after all the Bs we have to deal with here in Phoenix we will probably be the red headed step child of the desert forever if they win this year. So be it
