The days of expansion teams being absolute dog#### for years after they join are gone. Making expansion teams crappy by design killed the Kansas City Scouts/Colorado Rockies, kinda-sorta eventually killed the Golden Seals, Nordiques, Jets and Whalers, and damned near killed the Blues, Penguins, Islanders, Flames, Capitals, Senators and Lightning.
David Bonderman and Jerry Bruckheimer did not spend $650,000,000 to have a #### hockey team. Bill Foley did not spend $500,000,000 to have a #### hockey team.
