They got Barbashev and Blueger last year, hardly going out and “getting everyone”. Nobody was looking at Vegas at a favourite. The teams that went out and took big swings last year and who people had pegged as favorites were Boston getting Orlov and Bertuzzi and Rangers getting Tarasenko and Kane, how’d that work out for them?
You’re kinda proving my point for me with the Columbus example. They went all in and I guess if you consider beating Tampa in the first round and then losing in the second a success then yeah it all worked out for them. But in reality it didn’t work out and they pretty much immediately went into the toilet after that so great call by them there.
