Any potential team names floating around yet? I'm assuming the Metropolitans will be in the mix for historical reasons.

Seattle is my favorite city. Can't wait for them to get a hockey team. Will be my second team from the get go.

 

[KingBran]

Some names that I have heard and liked:

Seattle Kraken
Seattle Tuna Chops
Seattle Rain
Seattle Biscuits
Seattle Sea Turtles
Seattle Tomahawks
Seattle Space
Seattle Windows
Seattle Goombas

Okay, I made some of those up.

Good strategy throwing in those awful 'ringer' names to prop up the better ones.

Half of those are from Mario Bros. No?

 

[Nico Hischier]

Seattle SuperSonics

 

[Timeless Winter]

Kraken is the correct answer.

Don’t worry. Just like Vegas, things will get done when they need to.
As for a name, considering the expected rivalry with Vancouver, maybe Seattle should buy an old one and go with, Seattle Whalers

I'm interested in how they plan on realigning the divisions. Does Vegas move to the central? Or Arizona?

Just one. But good job saying "half" to help your agenda.

Seattle Overrated-Shitty-Coffee Is that too long?

That works, and is very fitting.

Is it the weather? The bums? I think Seattle is the most disappointing US city I’ve ever visited.

Arizona moves to the Central.

 

[Hrkac Circus]

If I were the Seattle owner I would offer money to the Thunderbirds and the WHL for rights to the Thunderbirds name and logo. But maybe the Thunderbirds franchise would say no to giving up those rights.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Arizona moves to the Central.

Wonder if the plan is still to keep them in Arizona, then, or relocate to Houston as I've been hearing. Would be crazy to see Texas get a second team.

After all he’s done to keep them there, I can’t see Bettman moving them out of Arizona now, but if any are to move I’d say Arizona should be the first

Hating on Starbucks is the cool thing to do.

Really.
I’m a fan of Starbucks. Taste 1000 times better than that watered down crap Tim Hortons serves.

 

[Craig Button]

It’s the right thing to do

Kraken is bad. Always has been, always will be.

Sirens for life.
