Congrats to Seattle, btw.

Yeah the media here is saying there is interest to expand to Houston and Kansas City as well. Strange considering a few teams in non traditional markets continue to struggle (Arizona, Florida, Carolina and even NJ). Revenue sharing keeps those markets alive, and owners don't complain because they get to split the buy in cost of the expansion team (650 million in this case). |

Wonder what they will be called???!?
Hockey is not new to Seattle and I suspect the team will flourish from a fan support perspective.
Exciting times!

I wonder when Vancouver will get a NHL team. We used to have one...  |
I wonder if the further "expansions" will actually just be relocating teams that are struggling financially.
