Seattle Kraken (coming 2021-2022)

With the arena renovations being official, all the speculation on Seattle actually getting a team are coming in fast. Bob McKenzie thinks things could happen real fast. BoG meetings are this week, so they could potentially be discussing Seattle getting a team.

2020-2021 season would be the earliest a team could play.

At this point, it's just a matter of when not if the announcement will be made official. Also seems to be speculation that expansion fees could be over 600M this time around. Almost surely puts QC out of running if they did want to try again(which I doubt they would).

Give Seattle an expansion team in 2018 so teams got 2 years to prepare for the expansion draft. Then in 2018 or 2019 we could have a team relocate to QC.

I think Seattle Emeralds would be a great name for the team. Logo could be an emerald with the top part of it being the space needle shaped like a hockey puck.
