There were a lot of people who didn't think that Vegas was going to work.
And the guy who really deserves a lot of credit there is Bill Foley because he was adamant it was going to work.
And you know what?
Credit to George McPhee and Kelly McCrimmon.
They built a winner right away.
They got...
Probably the most favorable expansion draft rules, maybe in the history of sports.
And they took advantage of it.
Right.
They did a great job.
So they deserve a lot of credit.
But Foley's the guy like I remember at the time the NHL wasn't convinced it was going to work.
The first thing they did was they said, you have to prove to us you have a local fan base.
Your fan base is not going to be, okay, the Leafs are in town.
We're going to invite Toronto fans who can't get to games in Toronto to come down to Vegas and come to a game while you...
play blackjack along the strip right they were not going to allow that and Foley said to them there will be a fan base here and he was right like Kyle you and I have been to games it's one of the best places to watch games in the league and those are serious hardcore fans like I like I remember there was one guy sitting near us at the Stanley Cup final last year and as he had was wearing a Golden Knights jersey with the number one on the back and his nameplate said from day as in from day one
and they love that team.
But the league wasn't convinced, and they still did it.
And Seattle, after Vegas came through, nobody was going to argue against Seattle.
