This is going to get frustrating quickly. I don't think people realize how much easier it is to build a championship culture from scratch, with a group of talented guys with chips on their shoulders... than it is to 180 a broken culture, with top end talent and potential attitude issues and no depth. Not to take credit away from McPhee because he had to pick the right guys, from the players to the coaches to management beneath him, and he seized the opportunity as an expansion team with a blank slate... but it's an opportunity that just doesn't apply to a team that's been in the league for nearly 50 years and bad for the last 10.Show improvement. If he can’t, in light of how ****ing good Vegas was with scraps, what’s the justification for NOT firing him? GMs usually get 3?
For the league, Vegas success is a great thing. For fans of a bottom feeder, its a nightmare. All it does is give people the idea that the scorched earth method of team building (fire everyone trade everyone start from scratch), that rarely happens and even less often actually works out, should happen every year you don't have a championship team. "Because Vegas".
