With the NHL's Vegas expansion draft success puting such fear in GM's to not be able to protect every roster player they needed to, they even cut side deals with LV with compensating them with draft picks not to take certain players. 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 super competitive team with Instant success as the result.
Deny it all you want this was the result. Not saying the reg season was rigged or the playoffs. But the result is first year Vegas in the SC final.

Quite a change in tone from your thoughts shortly after the expansion draft!
Let's take a look here...
