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.
Funny they've gone out to get all these big name players like Pietrangelo and Eichel to improve themselves to get over the top but actually end up playing worse.
Betting the league will ensure other US teams(brands?) will take some of their junk to help out the cause. The serial cap-abuse is pretty embarrassing.
You'll likely see some U-hauls from 1 desert locale to the other.
