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

Aside from MAF (who lots of people thought was on a downward path), what players they got were well known as top guys? I actually thought going in they had made the mistake of drafting a middling team that was not going to be in line for a top draft pick the following year, but was also not going to be a contender.
