Right, I've been following the attempt to get an NBA team in Seattle for a while. But you're talking about it like it's a certainty that the arena is going to be built and that Seattle will want an NHL team for it sometime within the next ten years, and I'm curious where that certainty is coming from.

The city has a strong corporate base to whom they could sell season tickets and suites/boxes.

This is quite different from a place like Hartford, which is in an area with a fair number of hockey fans (mostly Bruins and Rangers fans) with a history with hockey and some successful minor league teams in the state, but hardly any corporate base to support an NHL franchise.
