It ultimately makes sense. If you win, you at least did enough correctly over enough time to be better than the other team enough of the time. That's really all that matters. Which tends to lead to complacency. That's why Vegas is so outside the box. They'll fire you today or tomorrow, trade you now or whenever, sign you to whatever contract, etc. They're the one example of that in the entire league though. Of course they also have no history outside of pretty much nothing but success. We'll see how Vegas acts when they have an actual down period as a franchise. A decade of crap. They might hang onto a few guys a little longer than they should then. But, maybe they won't, and they're an exception in all of a sports, not just the NHL. They might be that special. Only time will tell.
If you lose, every choice made goes under the microscope. It starts at the most immediate ones, but then goes back further and further into time.
