Seems a little too early to be awarding Seattle an all-star game right off the bat. Of course, it all depends on whether the team/city wants to bid for the all-star game, but I would say that Vegas would be up for the game before Seattle. Hosting the draft first might be more appropriate for Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Ohhh I think it's kinda fun. And it's not like NHL Seattle organized this whole thing for their own gimmick. A bunch of local groups were asked to contribute to this Space Needle time capsule, and this was what NHL Seattle contributed. Even if it's not a huge revelation come 2062, it's still another little way to continue building awareness and momentum right now around the future team. Especially since the most prevalent buzz around town at this point is still, "What are they going to be called?!?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always despised the Kraken name; people talk mad crap about Sockeyes, but nothing screams "beer league tryhard cool name" of the proposed candidates harder than a team named the "Seattle Kraken". It's almost roller hockey-esque. It's the Bitch Pigeons of the actual listed names; a meme that's spiraled out of control and looped from being funny right into being annoying. Though at least Kraken isn't a meme copied from NFL fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reeks of minor league. I personally think it will be Sockeyes but i'm betting on me being wrong about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitch Pigeons is a meme that people nicked from the NFL fandom. There, it's used to mock whiny Seahawks fans. Here, it's essentially become the Boaty McBoatface of Seattle names.
