The Seattle ticket drive had a goal of selling 10,00 season tickets.  They sold that in 12 minutes, sold 25,000 within an hour.  That's impressive.

It took Vegas 2 days to reach 5,000

I'm pumped. Been waiting for this since the late 80's when that piece of shit Key Arena was renovated, but for NBA only. Anyway, looks like Seattle is a sure bet for a franchise based on today's ticket deposit performance.  

NHL Seattle season-ticket drive reaches 25K sold in one hour

If you want a comparison of how well this drive has gone for Seattle, it took the Vegas Golden Knights two days to get 5,000 season-ticket deposits, a month to reach 9,000 and 18 months to hit 16,000 sold. KeyArena, which is to undergo a $660 million renovation in time for a potential 2020-21 start for an NHL team, holds 17,500, so there will be a priority waitlist for those who were successful in snatching up tickets.

Expansion team, or is Seattle getting the Fishsticks?

I think the fishstix are headed back out on the island.

The Seattle Grungers

The Seattle Weed
Green River Killers
Bundy's Breakers
I kid....
I kind of like the minor league name, the Thunderbirds
Maybe go with The Night Trains to pair up?

I like it!
Seattle Totems is getting a lot of play, but I'm guessing we'd be known as the Scrotums around the league, so I'm not a fan of that one.
Seattle Metropolitans is up there as a nod to our Stanley Cup winning team 100 years ago. And the Oak View Group registered a bunch of domain names including Seattle Cougars, Seattle Eagles, Seattle Emeralds, Seattle Evergreens, Seattle Firebirds, Seattle Kraken, Seattle Rainiers, Seattle Renegades, Seattle Sea Lions, Seattle Seals, Seattle Sockeyes, Seattle Totems, Seattle Whales. Not a fan of most of those, so it will be interesting to see what makes the cut. I think they'll do a fan vote, but ultimately the ownership group will decide.

Tatar gone wow.. 

they got a good haul for him.  I think the wings are going full rebuild mode now.  That’s why they kept Howard.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they draft a goalie in the first round, hope he pans out in 2-3 years to replace an aging Howard.  I like the deal.  It’s also a real possibility that the wings will try to move up in the draft to better their odds of the number 1 pick, however, I think for any team to lesson their odds at the number 1 pick this year will take a kings ransom.

Agree, surprised Mazerk is gone more so than Tatar.   Tatar has been coming on of late but I overall I find he makes one to many moves and gets caught. Very talented forward though.  Mazerk was playing awesome up to the trade and I find Howard sketchy at times.  Thought M would be #1 goalie for the wings- now and future.  The wings are definitely in rebuild mode.... Hank, Abby, Ericsson, and Kronwall aren't getting any younger.    Of the new players for me this year, Ive been liking Jensen, Frk , and Booth.  AA and Larkin are great together.... would be awesome for the wings to find a fast seasoned vet to play with them... wonder what Booth could do with them?  Daley on D is a beast as well and Dekeyser needs more playing time.  Bert and Mantha need to pick it up. 

Go Wings Go!

=Agree with everything you said ... I have a feeling the wings might make an offer to get in an position to draft dahlin ... 

Just read up on this guy... damn impressive.

He is impressive ... would not be surprised IF the wings try to trade foRnumber 1 over-all.  You really need a road trip to see the wings in their new home...LCA is a beutiful arena.

Not a fan of any of those options, hope they come up with something both unique and badass.  Seattle deserves as much.

gotta say, im not a big fan of these outdoor games.

Oh its on the list of things to do, already gave the wife a heads up its coming... hahaha.  What they show on FSD, it looks amazing.   I also have to mention, the announcers that cover the Wings are the least biased Ive ever seen/heard.  They root for the wings but give props to the other team all the time.   Mickey Redmond is the best.

I’ve only seen a concert in there so far ... just beautiful.

hope to catch a game next year.

They’ve lost there lustre for me...

It was a novel idea when it was just the Winter Classic.  But now they're just so many of them that NONE of them seem to bear any significance.
