siouxfaninseattle Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Standard lunacy in Seattle. The new mayor shares in that lunacy - she said there is no reason why Seattle can't have two arenas. Except for the city council voting against allowing the closure of one block required to build the new arena. And the Port of Seattle trying to block it. And the backers only wanting basketball.

siouxfaninseattle Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Lots of optimism about a team. Starting play in 2020 seems unlikely since they haven't started construction at Key Arena and the application hasn't been submitted yet, although it looks like it will get fast-tracked. http://sports.mynorthwest.com/404992/if-seattle-gets-its-nhl-franchise-it-could-be-good-right-away/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best solution is move Calgary and Edmonton over to the Central, and move Colorado to the Pacific. The Jets would be happy and the Canucks would have an intense rival down the road. Arizona could move to the Cemitral, but they are effectively in Paciific time for part of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfaninseattle Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 This is an interesting article that talks about how the NHL could have a leg up on the NBA if they are here first. Here's a quick history lesson first. About 10-12 years ago the Sonics "asked" the city to make $200M in renovations to Key Arena. Since the city had made $200M in renovations about 10 years before that, they said no. So the owner of the Sonics (Howard Schultz) decided to sell the team. The buyer (Clay Bennett) said he would really try to keep the team in Seattle. Yeah sure he would. The team moved to Oklahoma City, where coincidentally Bennett lives. The commissioner of the NBA (David Stern) said quite angrily "Seattle will never have an NBA team again!" It wouldn't hurt my feelings if bringing an NHL team here keeps the NBA out of town. Good riddance http://mynorthwest.com/910941/nhl-team-reduce-nba-chances/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
