Yeah... just saw it.... I didn't think they would turn down the money... and with the success the Golden Knights had last year they probably want to ride that train.
Good news.
Love the NHL.
So what do we think?
Seattle Rain
Seattle Lattes
Seattle Grunge
Seattle Hippies
Lol good options! I like the Seattle Lattes.
I actually think they'll go with an historic Seattle sports name like the Pilots or Metropolitans. But, this article,
https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/seatt...ranchise/, seems to believe the name will come from this list of 15:
1. Steelheads - not the worst
2. Skyline - eh...
3. Metropolitans - good
4. Snowcaps - like mountains or the candy...?
5. Thunderbirds - arena football for 75 year olds
6. Nighthawks - arena football
7. Sasquatches - would be funny which is why it won't happen
8. Kraken - not terrible
9. Thunder - passive agressive
10. Pilots - YES!
11. Skyscrapers - eh...
12. Thunderwolves - arena football
13. Grinders - umm...
14. Neon Warriors - invokes an 80s aerobics feel
15. Grunge - imagine all the Nirvana hits blasting at home games
