OT: NHL Expansion, Seattle

[DarthGrumpy]

It's official. The NHL is giving Seattle its's 32nd franchise starting in 2021/2 at a heavily renovated Key Arena. Arizona will be moved from the Pacific to the Central division (should be moved Quebec City or the AHL).

It's unanimous: Seattle gets NHL expansion team

Its likely this ends NHL expansion for a while, though the afore mentioned Quebec City, Kansas City and Houston (please no) are all rumored to be relocation options for existing teams.

We have a friend living in the Seattle area that will be overjoyed at this. At least she will be happy.
