BREAKING: The Golden Knights' bubble bursts right in their faces

After winning the Stanley Cup last year, the Golden Knights had a more challenging regular season before acquiring several players at the trade deadline.

It seems to be a fair turn of events for this franchise, which has repeatedly sought to circumvent salary cap regulations by trading all of its draft picks and prospects for established players.
