That's another.
Like I said, I wish we could blow up the Flames and build a new squad with the fancy new expansion draft rules.

That had nothing to do with the expansion rules though, blame the horrible GMs about about 5 franchises.
If the GMs didn't try to be smarter than Vegas and overthink the expansion draft then no way Vegas was a contender.

Doesn't really look like they would be a contender anymore does it?

If those 5 teams don't make those bad trades then nobody is talking about Vegas being "gifted" a contender.
Expansion draft format was fine, it was the GMs that were the issue.
