The rules for expansion are deeply flawed.
The rules were designed that way on purpose. The other 30 NHL owners made a cold-blooded, calculated decision that put $1.15 billion in their pockets. Vegas and Seattle weren't paying that kind of money for old-fashioned expansion teams.

Of course the fans of those 30 teams don't like it, which is our right. But on the whole, it's kind of fun for us all to have Vegas to hate. A perpetual heel is so much more entertaining than a perpetual loser!
