Ya Think... Vegas got to Rape every team for players... I guess the Mob wanted to make sure they are successful. Lets see if Seattle gets the same breaks.. Not hating, they WON their way in.. The bolts/rapist SCF series will be blast.

Dude...

-EVERYONE knew Karlsson was a 1st line center

-EVERYONE knew Perron would have a career year

-After a 14 goal year followed by a 15 goal year, everyone knew that 7th round pick, Eric Haula would score 29 goals and post 55 points.

-EVERYONE knew the proven defensive star Colin Miller was due for 41 points

-Hell, as a Pens fan, even I KNEW that Fleury was due for the his best season ever

They were gifted this poop

- Rinosaur


The only real suprise was that 30 goal scorer Marchessault actually was a 40 goal scorer

If we all look back to the draft before knowing how many players would have these crazy years, there were really only a few steals: Theodore, Neal, Fleury, Schmidt, Marchessault and you can even throw Tuch in there for good measure.

While those players were steals, they aren't players you think, "Hmmm, I can totally build a championship team around these guys."

Vegas had to make good decisions and they did. Some was probably luck and some was having a good GM/Organization to build.

But hey, the mob wanted this

Yeah, the other teams GMs had a proverbial gun pointed at their heads to get rid of good players in the expansion draft.
Give me a break.

- CupOnBroadSt.


No they didn’t. They were handed a freakin gold mine by the league. This is a goddamn atrocity
- BringNYIhome


In 2000, teams were allowed to protect 15 players. 9 forwards, 5 defensemen, 1 goalie. In 2017 teams were allowed to protect 8. F-ing 8 players. Oh yeah. And there were 2 teams picking from what scraps were left. Vegas had their pick of a top 6 forward or top 4 defensemen off EVERY NHL TEAM. Teams were surrendering draft picks because they couldn’t afford to lose the quality players they were endangered of losing. This whole process was a goddamn joke

He’s a great coach. But Bettman gave him 4 times more talent than any expansion team normally gets to work with

Until you realize that Vegas has like 3 times the Canadian players than American players. In fact odds are it'll be Tampa vs Vegas. Look at that chart and what do you notice about Vegas and Tampa? I'll give you 3 guesses but you should only need one. Hope those facts don't ruin your orgasm.

This means Mtl is still the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup, 25 years and counting.

I thought Winnipeg will go all the way but I guess not.

This is just wrong. Teams could protect 11. 7-3-1.
As well all elc pros of two years or less and all unsigned draftees were automatically protected.
Some really good players were selected in 2000. And yes, some teams made side trades to avoid certain players being selected.

You are the goddamn joke.

Not to mention nobody takes into account they really are the first expansion team in the salary cap era which did play a factor in getting a player like Flower for goaltender. Yup that was all planned right?!

Or lets argue about fair when Florida/Anaheim came in and there was a Phase 2 on the draft allowing SJ/OTT/Tampa to take a couple players they drafted off them from the expansion draft.

Gimmie a break.

The tinfoil hat brigade is strongly represented in their conspiracy fuelled hate cause Vegas got a good GM, stole one of the best coaches in the NHL cause FLA was utterly stupid, worked the cap to land Fleury giving them a cup winning backstop, and then got a whole lot of guys who have a chip on their shoulder and something to prove, who all just bought into the system and play their game and have had success as a whole team. But yeah Bettman was behind all of it??!! Just WOW

GO KNIGHTS! FACK THE HATERS!!

Not sure of the money values, but someone will know. I think it's the most expensive expansion team to date as well (I may be wrong on that). If I'm spending half a bill on a team I want it winning more than losing, & I don't want other teams scraps & garbage. I can remember people saying Vegas left talent off their selections & didn't pick the best available?? No one ever problem t them up as a talented group that had any chance of getting to where they are.

As for Gallant, I'd say his Florida team had more talent than his Vegas team. So he has done an incredible job.
