Congrats Seattle on getting an NHL franchise perhaps they can have a Vegas type of season when they finally hit the ice.

Now the gm meeting vote.

Apparently you guys are going to have the same expansion draft rules as Vegas BUT you CAN'T pick from Vegas

I don't know if I really agree with that, Vegas should have to run the risk of losing a player just like everyone else.

There is only one reason why.

I heard yesterday the reason why Vegas wont have to expose their players is because when they came in the league, there was actually supposed to be another expansion team that came in at the same time (so therefore wouldn't have had Vegas around to choose players from) but something happened in that city and it fizzled out. Vegas also wont be getting any of the $650M expansion fee.

NHL Seattle gets to 25K season ticket deposits in 1st hour

with 10,000 coming in the first 12 minutes after they were made available at 10 a.m.


To compare, the most recent NHL expansion team in Las Vegas had 5,000 deposits in the first two days of its season ticket drive and 9,000 within a month of going on sale in February 2015.

Wow that's incredible and hard to believe unless the investors already had something planned? Good on them and good luck Seattle on getting an NHL franchise. Almost makes me miss the NW. ALMOST!

I will stand by that the Key Arena is not feasible for the long term success of any franchise. It will at first without question, but the headache of that location won't be worth it once the new shiney toy wears off. Unless they are just bringing in a team to have Amazon, Expedia and TMobile employees wanting attend games.

I somewhat disagree. If the team turns out to be another Las Vegas fans will go. Winning breeds attendance. There will definitely be plenty of corporate suites/seats that's where the big $ is. All those VIPs, CEOs, Sales persons will now have somewhere to take prospective new businesses/clients/out of state employees during the winter that they don't have now.

The Seattle 'We can't drive in snow any better than Vancouverites?'

That's going to be hard to fit on a jersey.
