You describe the Rangers in the 70s. The Isles built quickly but organically back then, with a brilliant front office. Now the NHL hands new franchises a playoff roster.
Yeah. I am not a fan of that. I know their is a lot of money involved in getting a new franchise especially if ownership has to pony up money to build the arena so I understand the desire for new franchises to hit the ground running but being a stanley cup contender year 1 is ridiculous.
