I don’t see how they are.
Vegas was the first expansion team in two decades. They played their hand extremely well in the lead up to the draft, and selected a team with four second lines.
They have been ruthless sending out players before they decline, because they play in the most desirable market in the league and every top player will want to come here anyway so long as they win.
All they were missing was the superstar centre, and when one came available, the spent one of their nine second line players, a pick, and who cares for Jack Eichel.
Like, sure, if you have all those things going for you, you can buck the narrative.
When you’re the Calgary Flames, you need to BEDMAS that ####.
