What I find most interesting about Vegas and their assumed interest in prospects and picks is that Vegas itself doesn't seem like a place that's conducive to nurturing and developing young players. Don't get me wrong the facilities seem state of the art and there are some good professionals put in place on the hockey ops side, but I am speaking of the city itself.
Put a bunch of young single kids in a place where there's major partying every night, drugs, gambling, brothels, where it's practically been ingrained into society that this is the place where you go wild-- and you're just asking for developmental problems. It'll be interesting to track but I wouldn't be surprised if more kids than normal who make it onto the big club, end up having more off ice issues than normal.
At the very least, character is going to be a big factor in all expansion draft and entry draft selections, because you don't want Kostitsyn's, or Stoll's, or E. Kane's poisoning your system.
