I did. With how strict the protection rules were it was pretty obvious they could build a strong team right out of the gate, that is why the league did it that way. The NHL dropped the ball here. Of course you can't change the rules now but that never should have happened. Does the Vegas ownership need a cut of the expansion fee? Not at all they are laughing all the way at the fact they don't have to expose anyone. Look at the schedule Vegas had in their first season with almost all home games to start the year. The NHL wants a SC in Vegas big time.
