1st choice would be the Coyotes then maybe Florida or Columbus.Those 3 would be the best bets to move.Would put pressue on the mariners to improve thier product.A good thing imo

That said, the first location will be to Quebec. Now, I could see the Islanders, Florida, Columbus, and Phoenix being possible candidates.

Kings/sonics will be playing in the new arena 2.5 years from now. Hanson has said for this to work the NHL will have to be in town as well. Im sure he has secret deals under the table and this is all in motion. You don't buy that land and do what he has done with out deals in place.

Thats how stadiums make money. Hockey is coming after the stadium is built. I've been waiting for the NHL since Ackerly killed my dreams in the 92 Key Arena remodel.

The arena deal was also modified so that the NHL wasn't a must, because he wasn't as confident about the prospects of the NHL as he was the NBA's.
The arena can work with just an NBA team, but an NHL team makes it easier to pay the bills off easier and quicker.

I will always love the Seahawks most, but I think it would be a lot of fun to have an NHL team. I have never been to a game, but I definitely will if we get an organization. Hope it works out!

I think it's only a matter of time before NHL is in Seattle. Bettman wants a team there, if he had his way the Atlanta Thrashers would have moved there over Winnipeg, but didn't happen because of the arena situation. Also overwhelming support behind Winnipeg.
Once the new arena in Seattle gets built, pick any NHL franchise in southern USA and i'm sure rumours will start going around about relocation.

I sure hope we get a Hockey team. Hockey is way too fun to watch live. As much as I miss the Sonics, I'm way more excited for the NHL, much better product.

The arena can work with just an NBA team, but an NHL team makes it easier to pay the bills off easier and quicker. I have not seen or heard that anywhere.....just the other day on local radio they were saying the opposite. I guess I would be interested in your source of information? To my knowledge the plan has always been to also have an NHL team there as well. _________________ "??? How do you know he's awful?

You might be right, But I swear there was something back in the infancy days there was a change that made it possible for it to be just an NBA team, because of the question mark that is the NHL, because Hansen has no desire to own an NHL franchise.
IMO most certainly an NHL owner will come to Seattle and say "hey sooo uhh any space in that arena of yours?"

I'm of the opinion Seattle will get a relocated team and expansion teams will get placed in Quebec and southern Ontario (which would play in the western conference). http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck- ... --nhl.htmlShy

I can't pin down the exact specifics, but it's something to the effect of securing an NHL team allows Hansen access to more money from bonds or something like that. It's a matter of money freed up for Hansen over money he has to pay out of pocket. It wouldn't make sense to make a deal with Hansen hinged on also getting an NHL team when Hansen is not going to be shopping for an NHL team. A secured NBA team + all of the reviews being done is enough to put a shovel in the ground.
