In the past it was just players only. They are definitely not a typical expansion team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the exception to the rule it seems 21 hours ago, Triple B said: No **** .... but they are definitely the exception. Coming in as a lone expansion team definitely helped them immensely. They were given an expansion draft with rules orders of magnitude better for them than any expansion team in NHL history. Along with making deals to take good but overpaid players due to having a blank slate for the salary cap they got to skip the franchise building years and got backstopped by a great goalie the Penguins wrote out of their plans.

Owners pay too much money these days to stink out loud for several years while building up their franchise. Jaguars and Panthers were able to compete quickly as well in the NFL when they joined.
