The draft rules were fine. Vegas needed better players to meet the salary floor which didn’t exist for previous expansions.
I attribute the Knights success to three things:
1. Picking big and fast players who fit the coaches system
2. Getting career breakout years out of their forwards, especially the first line.
3. Having a Stanley Cup winning goalie available who then engaged god mode.
Two out of three are complete luck and I cannot see Seattle or any future teams having the same sucess.
