Seattle is officially getting an NHL team.
I'm really excited for that local rivalry... but I worry a bit about diluting the talent pool and strength of the league with a 32nd team. Personally I think there are enough teams with poor attendance to shut one or two down, move one or two, and have 28 stronger teams/fanbases. Guess they just can't pass on that expansion fee despite there being teams with under 70% attendance records
It is also cool to see pro hockey players now coming out of places like Arizona (Austin Matthews) and Florida (Shayne Gostisbehere and Jakob Chychrun) though.
