Haula just took a penalty for unloading on a Shark. Boy, the Wild paid cash to the Knights between Haula and Tuch. As an old schooler, I find the GKs are just wrong, and disrespectful to the rest of the league. Wild(and CBJ, Atlanta, Nashville) got a bunch or 5th liners, 4th D pairings, and 3rd goalies to pick from.
Vegas got instant farm system of picks and prospects and a lot of really good players.
McPhee gets some major credit, but still, expansion teams shouldn't be put in the position win the conference year one.
Plus, where's the honeymoon when you are studly day 1? Now teams get set to get hosed with Seattle for round 2?
