Yep. Then the league (correctly) decided to not repeat the same mistakes with Vegas, but overcorrected, making our expansion rules look even worse in hindsight.
(But that doesn't excuse how inept our front office was for the first 15 or so years of our existence.)
I was surprised by that as well. Looking at their season-by-season record they've been quietly really consistent over the years, as opposed to some other teams on this list that have had really high highs and really low lows.
Then you have my Blue Jackets, which have mostly been really low lows. 😭
