More to the point, those contracts were legal within the letter of the CBA at the time. It took a new CBA to close the loophole. What dissentowner thinks Vegas is doing is not within the letter of the CBA, but is a blatant violation of the rules as presently written. Maybe Stone will go on LTIR, but he has to have a medical reason, and that reason has to remain valid as long as he stays there. It's not going to happen just because the Golden Knights want to be above the rules.
What makes Tampa or Vegas bigger than New Jersey? Nothing.

Well I think both Tampa and Vegas have the potential at generating new generations of fans unlike NJD. I think it's kind of a situation like Pitsburgh where success is creating and rebuilding a fan-base.
As far as the recapture penalties. Yes, I'm aware of them, but I don't think Weber will retire even if he can't play. He can stay on LTIR indefinitely. That way he doesn't have to walk away from any money. It's been done over and over before.
EDIT: Wrong GDT for this lol
