That series was not even close.
Must be nice being a Knights fan. 6 years in existence and you've already crowned yourself champion, 2 SCF appearances, 4 conference finals appearances, and a good team for years to come. Eichel, Pietrangelo, and top end wingers that are going to keep them competitive for a while. As an attractive UFA destination, they are becoming the Rangers of the West where they will never have problems signing players. They will be able to sign them to reasonable deals which is actually something NYR can't brag about. It's going to be a while before they actually rebuild. The only way they would is if they were forced to by a very good division. Can't say the Pacific is a "strong division", yet.
