Monzanator 3,569 Posted July 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2019 It's been known for a while Seattle will join the NHL from the 21/22 season. Now both conferences will have 16 teams each. The new team will play at the old SuperSonics NBA arena (obviously renovated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't understand why would they want to renovate this arena so much but they refused to build a new one for the Sonics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because they found an ownership group willing to do it. Howard Schultz is a jackass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Schultz is a jackass that's also another reason...together with the local people's refusal to pay more taxes to help financing a completely new project...
