true enough.... however its really up to ownership, Bruckheimer et al. They can do the fan poll thing, come up with a couple or 3 names ranked 1-3, if #1 doesnt pass for whatever reason with NHL legal etc, and if rejected it better be for a damn good reason because when it comes to this sort of thing the NHL itself is woefully inadequate, laughably incompetent in fact. See; Las Vegas Knights.... being sued up the ying-yang by the GD military & every podunk high school & hackey sack team from here to Peoria....
"Totems" is my favorite, history there, representative of the WC Native American culture RESPECTFULLY & if anyone trys to tell me that that moniker is somehow disrespectful, hijacks for commercial interests important spiritual beliefs & cultural iconography important exclusively to NA Natives... then they'll be talking to my hand. Absolute nonsense..... not listening.... way over the line, gone to far with PC insanity... see ya in court. Fed up, had enough with this BS over long standing team names being determined to be disrespectful & racist... when viewed through the PC prisms you will find someone, some group claiming foul, that its disrespectful, insulting, belittling.... so teams, leagues, just roll over, no problem, we'll change it.... weak.
