I have no issue with the Knights actually having success. Shows other NHL teams that if you actually use cap space as an asset and aren’t afraid to make bold moves that you can build a winner.
Me either, McPhee did a great job building his top 9 and D after the first season and wasn't afraid to give up his top D prospect to get a top 15 winger, Treliving could have had Stone if he had the "stones" to put Valimaki in the proposal but it seems that he's like his dad and needs to win every deal outright or he passes.
