Look at guys like Chandler Stephenson and Nicolas Roy today, would these 2 guys be as successful had they stayed with their old clubs? I doubt it.
Vegas just does it the right way. They've built a strong foundation along with a great culture. Others might hate them, but I admire what they've done. I'm also very jealous, but my anger is directed more towards this club and its management for failing to execute despite having a sky high potential and a wide open window.
