Those people know how to run a team. I am not a NHL fan but I remember being impressed that an expansion team made the finals in their first year. Now they are back at it again.

They are both warm-weather teams, I could give a toss.
I honestly couldn't care less about either team.

An expansion team being this successful is wild. I don't follow hockey but I assume it works like other sports where they got to draft unprotected players from existing teams.

what misconception do you have that people from the bay don't like vegas? vegas is like my second home, i love the city. the idiotic politics around baseball and football don't impact how i view nhl, and i was never a fan of the sharks.

the nhl updated their rules for the last two expansion teams (Vegas and Seattle). it's a lot more friendly than previous expansion drafts. which, i think is brilliant. why make a new team bad, when you're trying to build a new fanbase?

Yes and they made selections where multiple players ended up having an all-star-worthy year for them, in their first year of play.

It is pretty wild. By comparison the NBA and NFL expansion teams from the last 30 years have been mostly terrible performers.

From what I know of expansion teams in other sports, not even close lol

All the best players get protected and aren't available to draft

MLB in the last 30 years had the Marlins win in their 5th season, and the Diamondbacks win in their 4th season.

NFL had the Ravens win Super Bowls in 2001 and 2013. They entered the league in 1996.

I mean, the Ravens barely count as they were just the original Cleveland Browns after relocating.

Far from a dream team.
Everyone hates on Vegas cause they claim they were gifted a good team but that's false.
Blame the other 30 gms that undervalued their players and allowed vegas to select them.
Lol florida gifted them Reilly Smith and Jonathan Marchessault alone.

Eh, it's divisive. Just ask current Browns fans and former Colts fans lol.
