McPhee/Vegas? GM of year?? Nonsense! They bought their success with the $500 million expansion fee. In return for paying the big fat expansion fee to the league (which is not included in league revenue for player's cap purposes) the existing teams for the first time had to expose many more talented players than previous expansion drafts. Vegas bought and paid for their contender. Don't kid yourself, it's all about money. I don't think McPhee is a horrible GM but he is a solid average at best. Remember though McPhee is responsible for one of the worst trades ever trading Forsberg for Erat!

You’re a (frank)ing retard. Jesus. The expansion rules were still restrictive and they received nothing but bottom six and bottom four players. They traded for some better players in return for not selecting certain players that would be exposed by default.

McPhee deserves this. And they seem to be whipping Chevy’s team, too.

Of course it's Bergevin. No one is even close.
