Does Vegas have a good team culture? Most of the rumours or stories that I have heard suggest that it is a pretty toxic and cutthroat organization.
I think they got extremely lucky with the amount of talent they were able to acquire in their expansion draft and that propelled them into cup contention faster than any expansion team should.
Following that, they have worked very hard to circumvent the salary cap to get an advantage in the playoffs.
Seattle didn't get the crazy GM trades to bolster their initial talent pool and never had a chance to be cup contenders right out of the gate. Without that, there is no real need to go crazy trying to bypass the salary cap to put them over the top...
