In fact, forget the hockey team! And the blackjack!

Ah, screw the whole thing.

Given how yawn-inducing many of the games have been this year, the name really ought to be the Las Vegas Nighty Knights.

If anyone doesn't want to wait, the name and logo leaked. HFBoards' thread has it.

This matches up pretty well with the Adidas teaser from earlier today. Either it's a really good fake, or it's the one.

Or maybe I'm just a big baby who hates new things.

I can't tell.

Meh... Could be worse, could be better. I was thinking they'd wind up with something glitzy and cartoonish, but I guess "simple" logos are in.

Just wait until the Hurricanes move to Quebec, though. I bet the Avs won't give up the old logo, and they wind up with something completely ridiculous.

Babe the Blue Ox/Paul Bunyan?

You want bad, try these rejected Buffalo names:

Would've loved to see their logo of an ice-skating John Sebastian.

Alternate logo - Mama Cass choking on a puck.

So, it's not "LAS Vegas Golden Knights," but just "Vegas Golden Knights"?

This is good, four words is too many.

Except the word that's cut should be Golden. Congrats on ten years of Golden Shower jokes Vegas, until he sells the team to someone who wises up and renames them he Nevada Knights or Nevada Scorpions.

Apparently, this is the third choice. "Black Knights" was the first, but Army wouldn't let them use it. Just "Knights" was the second, but the London Knights kiboshed that too.

Not only would this be heartbreaking for us Jets fans, Enstrom seems like an objectively worse value than Dano given his remaining term and NMC.

Hopefully Dreger is full of poo poo.

Vegas won't keep everyone they take, and Enstrom's contract is up after next season. They might take him, then work out a trade to somewhere he'd want to go for futures.
