Dear god do not let Joe trade for Hall.

NO. NO. NO.

We just addressed our 2C spot and we have no room for another 1C who wants too much money.

GO AWAY.

I thought like a YEAR AGO they had already announced they were gonna be called Krakken. Maybe it was a dream?

The Seattle Sockeye(s) doesn't roll nicely out the mouth. If it's between those two, I really hope they go with KRAKKEN!!

I agree, Sasquatch would have been amazing.

I still think Seattle Sound is the best name, and a missed opportunity. Marketable, lots of graphical options, and relevance to the city and region.

Boy are you going to be upset when you find out Hall isn't a center and Sakic doesn't trade for him because you said not to

That would be offensive to the hearing-impaired community, you insensitive piece of poop

I am unsure about this name. Detroit already throws octopus on the ice for their playoff games. They also come out from underneath one. What are the Seattle fans going to throw and under what mascot are they going to come out in?
- TheUltimateJet


They could flip the script and come out under gigantic red wings. And fans could throw bicycle wheels on the ice.

Kraken is a mythical sea monster off Scandinavia. Not Seattle. Sockeyes’Totems,and Chiefs make a little more sense. Did that name come to you in one of your E4 dreams?

Actually, The Seattle Krakken has been tossed around since the beginning of the idea for a team in Seattle.

Except Hall has never played center in his entire career. Not even in junior, I don't believe.

Personally, I don't think Colorado should go after Hall. But I can't deny Seeing Hall and MacKinnon on a line together would be fun. Lol

They should buy the Seattle Thunderbirds JR team and call the NHL team the Thunderbirds

The Kraaken can be the new name for the JR team

Minor league team, minor league name

There doesn't seem to be many good team names for the Seattle franchise.

I sure as hell hope it isn't either of the two mentioned in this blog.

Both Seattle potential names are stupid...no flow, no easy shortening to a nickname ( as "Avs" for Colorado...got to do better.

Since the Seattle Metropolitans already won a Stanley cup... I am guessing that is the one they run with.. no? Give them a Commemoritve Banner from 1917 ... they can even have the second ugliest retro jersey in the league.

They should be going with this and it shouldn't even be a question.

Personally , I want the Emeralds or Mets , it would distinguish themselves from the nautical themes of the other Seattle teams....
- Alexzanki

I don't mind Sockeyes...but Mets/Metros or Metropolitans are the way to go.

You don't think The butt 'KRAKS' or The soggy 'SOCKS'? are good nicknames for the team? How odd.

Going to agree with previous posters on the name. Emeralds or Metropolitans. Kraken an the cartoonish logo screams AHL affiliate to me.

As for sockeyes isnt there a team with that name already in juniors or something?! I mean going to go there piss vancouver off and go orcas or something. 🤣

As for the Hall trade thinking it happens at deadline and who knows what team overbids to get him.
