I know it's different because it's a relocation rather than an expansion, but it kind of reminds me of when Colorado was gifted the old Nordiques. I was super jealous at the time. They pretty much won their first cup within a year or two of the franchise being there, all the while having hall of famers like Sakic and Forsberg in their primes playing in their line up.
As with the Avs, jealousy breeds contempt when it comes the Las Vegas team. So I went from liking the plucky Golden Knights the first year to hating that team now, especially since they rich with players and prospects, but are shielded from the expansion draft.
