RE: Seattle's NHL expansion bid getting closer to reality
I like it - super expensive - but I like it. Now what I'd like to see is the Coyotes move to Houston and the Panthers move to Quebec. Then we'd have this set up:
Western Conference
Pacific: Anaheim Ducks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks, Seattle Kraken*, Vancouver Canucks, Vegas Golden Knights
Central: Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Houston Aeros**, Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues, Winnipeg Jets
Eastern Conference
Atlantic: Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Nashville Predators, New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals
Northeast: Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Quebec Nordiques, Toronto Maple Leafs
*The Seattle Kraken name was introduced by a fan and I love it
**The Houston Aeros name is a name rooted in Houston hockey history
