VGK has gotten progressively worse each year. They started at the top (SCF) with 109 pts, then the next year 93 pts, then 86, then 82 and so far have 74 this year. They'll probably miss the playoffs for the first time, and could be a bottom feeder in a couple of years. I am a fan of this.
The Knights treat their loyal players like commodities and expect to be able to withstand injuries when they're forced to jettison their depth to chase after the shiniest new toy. They deserve everything that they're getting right now.
It's shocking to know that the lack of drafted players/depth would have implications on a team's future performance. It's almost like we've seen this type of situation happen before...
