Western Red

Just looking at general odds...you can only fail with so many NHL expansion (or relocation) franchises before one of them is successful.

I'm curious to see how their attendance goes when they eventually get bad.

"I’m legitimately stunned by their support but let’s also see what happens when the Raiders are in town and the Knights hit a skid"

A couple things to consider....

While the Raiders have a unique brand name (so strong, their fans will follow that team even after moving from one city to another), they're the worst kind of corporate welfare bums.  Despite this strong brand loyalty (ie., they'll be VERY profitable regardless of where they play), their new arena will at least partially be paid by PUBLIC funds (they use this as a bargaining chip whenever their owner(s) decide to move - and you know they will move again at some point based on their history).  The Golden Knights arena was 100% privately funded to my knowledge.

**** the Raiders (and I say this once being a fan of the team....back when they were originally the Oakland Raiders).
