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...

I think the players rallied around not being wanted by their teams, some players got pushed to Vegas because their current team wanted other players protected.
Sorry wasn't talking management. Doesn't hurt to be cutthroat like Vegas.
