This team could be very dangerous with a fully healthy Eichel.
This is the way a team should be built, and I like how Vegas did not cave to the Sabres and got Eichel for pennies on the dollar (much lower than the rumored asking price).
It was probably a very good risk/reward to take making this trade, from Vegas' standpoint.
I also thought it extremely interesting that Seattle ended up with no where near the prospects, picks, and extra assets to steer them to not draft or draft a specific player in their expansion draft.
It was a bit unfair, in that all of the NHL teams learned from their mistakes with Vegas expansion, and had 3-4 years to prepare their rosters to have even fewer quality NHL ready players for the Kraken to draft.
