32 teams do everything in their power to win the Stainley Cup and the majority of them fail miserably so I don't see how one team can just replicate the Golden Knights with a completely different selection of players and prospects and opposing teams wiser to the process. I don't see a MAF available. I don't see a Shae Theodore available. I don't see a team willing to trade them a Reilly Smith type of player for a 4th round pick. I just don't see a 78 point forward like Karlsson available on any of the unprotected lists. I'm sure they are going to find a few diamonds in the rough but I can't see them having anywhere near the success of the Knights.
