Something is wrong with this picture. An expansion team will be playing for a league championship. It must be nice.

It could also go very poorly for them in the long run if this is what their fans will expect.
If they don't win the championship, and then put up diminishing returns for the next few years, this team could lose it's new-found band wagon support and then find it hard to develop the fan base that could have come from a generation of new fans seeing their team grow around them.

As generous as the NHL expansion draft was, they still had to draft a team and weld it together literally from scratch. I don't care who you are, that took some doing.
They are going to be around for awhile, watch and groan as they build the next NHL dynasty.sigpic

They have already shown they have the front office in place to not let that happen.

We'll see; no front office can overcome a goalie on enough of a hot streak. And sometimes teams just have amazing chemistry for a year and then sort of fall apart. It'll be interesting to see what happens if they get E.Karlsson from the Senators. That division isn't a cake walk other than AZ and maybe even they can luck their way into Jack Hughes if they continue to stink. Plus, there's probably going to be another expansion draft assuming Seattle gets approved.
Remember what I said before? This is a dynasty.sigpic
