Welcome back I believe you have full member privileges as that was your 5th approved post. Yeah, it seemed with Vegas they quickly got them going but the Seatle expansion seems to be at a slower pace. I'm sure this is being timed with a potential lockout in 20-21. The only thing I'm not fond of in that logo is the color of the green. It can't look like green algae in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear about the privs. Yes, I have read that the lockout is one of the reasons for it being pushed back a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild.source Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 I read somewhere that they may have to wait one more year than they originally expected.

hf101 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Associated PressSeptember 14, 2018, 7:07 PM Quote SEATTLE — The Seattle City Council committee created to review plans for the renovation of KeyArena has unanimously approved the final transaction documents, setting the stage for full council approval of the arena plan later this month. The Select Committee on Civic Arenas voted 7-0 Friday to approve the plans for the $700 million renovation of the city-owned building. The redevelopment of the arena is a privately funded development being spearheaded by Oak View Group. The full City Council is expected to take a final vote on the arena redevelopment on Sept. 24. The approval is one of the last major hurdles to Seattle’s hopes of landing an NHL expansion franchise. Seattle Hockey Partners, the group looking to land the franchise, will present before the NHL Board of Governors Executive Committee on Oct. 2 in New York, and the full Board of Governors could take action on Seattle’s expansion bid before the end of the year.

The major issue - other than a lockout - was the area which will receive its final vote tomorrow. They will present to the executive committee on Oct. 2nd who will then turn around and present their findings to the BOG THAT afternoon. I was told by the league that they likely won't be voting on expansion at that point but during the December 8th BOG meeting in Florida. OVG is still planning on a 2020 expansion and I wouldn't be shocked to see a team awarded in December with 2020 contingent on whether a lockout takes place.

Hopefully, the vote will be approved today and Seatle will have a team in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
