Probably because there's no way they'd break up Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver. What this could do is create 4 team sub divisions which I like the idea of but throws off competitive balance especially in the eastern conference. This is what it'd look like off the top of my head

EDM
CGY
VAN
SEA

ANA
VGK
LAK
SJ

AZ
CO
STL
DAL

NSH
FLA
TB
CAR

MIN
CHI
WPG
DET

CBJ
PHI
PIT
WSH

NYI
NYR
NJ
BOS

MTL
OTT
BUF
TOR

I like Rainers, Emeralds, Kraken, and Evergreens the best.

No one is switching conferences. There’s already one less team in the West. When Seattle is approved there will be 16 teams in each conference.

Didn’t Red Wings strongly push to move to the East? I don’t see them all of a sudden wanting to go to the West again.

Seems as if someone in their organization is vey much in tune with online concept pages. Almost all of these potential names have pretty good fan art, concept logos and uniforms online already. There’s a handful of those team names that have really cool potential.

Seattle Kraken

Probably because that's the name of an NHL division.

The Seattle Kraken sounds like an MLS team. No thanks.

Honestly most of those names are awful.

My Jimmie are so ready for this. Send Nashville to the Eastern Conference please


That is not how the NHL works unfortunately...I do not think they will move anyone, but if they do, they will probably move Chicago to renew its rivalry with Detroit.

It's actually been amazing a huge city like Seattle hasn't had an NHL team for all this time.

Except for the fact that Vancouver is like 2 hours away.

What a rivalry this will be.

Once I heard rumors of NHL expansion in Seattle, I knew it would be a big hit here. After the NBA was stolen, there's been a huge void in the winter months for sports. I didn't know it would be 25k deposits in 1 hour big

My buddy put a deposit down for 4 of them and I'm going to by 10 games from him. I don't know much about hockey, but I'm excited about the team and getting into the NHL. I'm part Canadian so I feel like it's some sort of requirement for me.

The Vancouver games will be insane. Their fans will take over Seattle and the ticket prices will get jacked up.
