It will depend on how Vegas handles free agency over the next few years. They do have the advantage of being a highly desired market. I could see them benefitting from the Marian Hossa-style retirement of Stone as early as the end of next season just in time to open up cap space to sign Draisaitl in the 2025 offseason - which would be funny cause it would anger oiler fans to no end.
However, they also have little to no prospects or picks to supplement their team with young, cheap talent over the next few seasons so it’s also possible we see a drop off as their core players get older.
