No matter what you can't really compare their "build" because it's apples and oranges. Most of the league would trade their team for a draft with those rules IMO.
The Wings have to give Seattle a player but Vegas doesn't lol

Not a chance a team (outside of Detroit maybe) trades their roster for a draft with those rules.
It's been outlined in this thread multiple times already but the players the Knights were able to draft weren't world beaters.
What made them a contender was 5 GMs that made absolutely horrible moves instead of just losing one player.
