There's an ego-fuelled assumption being made here, but it isn't mine. Well, yours is more "hope for schadenfreude" fuelled since you can only enjoy hockey when someone else can't. I just suggest looking up north for it though, looking west may give you #1 center envy.

Said without the slightest hint of self awareness. Careful, you're treading closer to the tundra with every step. Are you sure your water wasn't bottled in Edmonton?
Your player assessments have been equally dismal, but it's easy enough to get under your skin talking about your many, many whiffs on trades/ free agency.
I don't think there's anything ego driven about saying Vegas has a much more structured D Zone (and team defensive) strategy vs Vancouver. You pretty much admitted that vancouver has relied on goalies now for multiple seasons in the markstrom speculation threads (and the signing thread.) The only subjective part about what I said was guessing that Nate Schmidt was a huge beneficiary of that d structure. The proof is in the pudding, he went from relative 0 to hero after the expansion draft. Team D, chance to play, and probably steroids have a lot to do with that.
