I am not at all convinced that something similar couldn't materialize for Seattle. Vegas did a great job picking guys who were hungry for opportunity, that's why they all exploded when given bigger roles and more of the reigns. They were told they were the rejects, but also told that they had the opportunity to prove those #######s keeping them down in their rosters who is who. They have done that.
Not really. Because these guys weren't stars, they were relatively cheap. So Vegas had piles of draft picks, as well as cap space, to build out from there.

They have since been able to add Stone, Pacioretty, Stastny, etc to solidify the roster.
