Prospective Seattle NHL owner buys $281m worth of land in SoDo Area

SEATTLE – Prospective Seattle NHL owner Victor Coleman recently purchased buildings on two city blocks near the Stadium District for $281 million.

That would mean Coleman has already spent more on land in the SoDo area than investor Chris Hansen, who would like to build an NBA/NHL arena in the neighborhood.

Coleman, along with a couple business partners, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, and NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly, all were part of a delegation that flew to Seattle on May 6 and had individual separate meetings with King County Executive Dow Constantine and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray.

The arena project is currently undergoing an environmental review. That needs to be completed, and an NBA team to be acquired, before construction and financing can begin. There is no such clause, if an NHL team, was to be acquired first.

where would the second team go? Vegas? That would almost be worth the road trips for the spectacle. can you imagine, we all could meet in Vegas for one big SportsHoopla road trip lol

Is there any area available in the Western part of Canada that may be open to get a team?

I think he's better off relocating a team like Florida or Phoenix there.

Move Detroit back to the West(sorry), put an expansion team in Seattle and an expansion team in Quebec City

nothing big enough for population, Saskatchewan is too spread out and their biggest towns are fairly small

saskatoon 250K
Regina 230K

Alberta has 2 teams already
BC does not have another city big enough to handle an NHL team

Seattle/Portland is good but not for 2 teams.

No way, they're in the Eastern time zone. That's not fair to them. They belong in the East.

Seattle should get 1 team. No way they need 2 in that area. Quebec really should have a team come back, same way Winnipeg did.

Illitch will not stand for it, no matter how much sense it makes.


There are some candidates for Western conference expansion, though.

Milwaukee, Kansas City, Portland, OKC (albeit a weak choice - they have an arena), Houston...

Please not Vegas.

Or the most logical choice... cut two teams in the East.

That's going to be tough to get NHLPA approval.

Or move one.

 

[dare2be]

Or move one.

And go back to 6 divisions of 5 teams each.

 

[esls79]

If expansion is in the cards, it should be Honolulu and Vegas in the West, move Phoenix to Seattle FLA to Quebec City.

/Dammit Gary, it was my idea first

Does there appear to be a widow of opportunity for seattle to get an NHK franchise?
