I do think that, for as long as they remain a winning organization, players will line up to play there. Once the falter, they will also remember how notorious they have been at shipping players out in favour of newer toys.
Everyone wanted to play in San Jose, LA and Anaheim when they were good, but I am betting many have them on their NTCs right now. Florida was not a haven for players, but it probably is #2 in the NHL only behind New York now that they have become a winning organization, especially after winning the cup.
I think these things are cyclical for the most part. Unless Vegas' reputation gets absolutely tarnished, they will never be a Winnipeg or Edmonton, but I do think that they will probably stop being a destination too once they stop winning.
