^great post.
I’ll also add that even with the additions from other stupid GMs that first year Vegas roster was a bubble team at best. They rode great coaching, a revived MAF, and career scoring years all the way to the Cup final. Then that success, plus other benefits of living in Vegas, was used as leverage to attract Pacioretty and Stone and now Lehner and Pietro to become a legitimate contender.
