This just shows that come expansion draft time expose the 11th best skater or backup goalie on your roster and be done. Too many teams panicked and gave these guys way too much ammunition.

Yeah, but they paid for the privilege and it's great for the league. In the past, new teams would languish for years, which makes it difficult to build a strong fan base. In Vegas, they have some great roots established for a strong franchise, and that is good for the league.
