There is no question there are teams who have spent years (decades as well) adding to their team.
I feel the end goal is to have a consistent pipeline of players from ECHL, AHL and NHL where you are never impacted by UFAs because you have AHLers getting called up. There is no question we have teams with this asset wealth. I would say NJ is very top heavy but I would consider my team as being asset rich.
Although I do love the idea of an expansion draft it needs to be thought out instead of just being a knee jerk reaction. My biggest concern would be taking an asset away from a poor asset team. I feel like an expansion team would have a better team than other existing teams very quickly.
