I'm fine with what they did as they clearly had an eye on being in the running for some possible generational players in the upcoming drafts. Most of the players listed are simply stop gap players that would have made them not good enough to win anything and too good to get a high draft pick to build their future around. You only have to look at the Ducks to see how fast a team can turn things around if they pick the right in the draft as I would rather have Zegras, Drysdale, and McTavish than any of the players they passed on. The worst thing that could happen to an expansion team is trying to emulate the Knights and failing as the organization would be trapped in the medocrity of not being bad enough to get on the right path of rebuilding. Look at the coach hire. That hire doesn't scream we want to win now.
