How the Roadmap to the Seattle Kraken Would Break Down!

I would think that the road map to the Seattle Kraken would break down like 15 Christmases, and those 15 Christmases would be not all at once. The first would be the stormy final season of the Seattle Supersonics and that was in a stormy final seasons of the beloved Seattle Supersonics. The next 10 would be furious speculation, and I mean furious and having to defer NBA and NHL Relocations to Seattle which would have changed the city forever and not in a good way, either.

Then, in 2018, the then Seattle NHL Expansion Project wound up being an actual NHL Expansion Team. Again, with ferocious arguments about WHEN the Seattle NHL Hockey would debut. Had it been Last Year, the momentum would have been interrupted and disrupted and the league would have had an all or nothing single elimination Division Championship, when teams where genuinely disinterested in coming back for a Suspended Animation Period.

Had it been this Fall, you'd run the risk of not having the chance of the city taking ownership of their team in spite of it being mocked as the CPA and worse, it would be older than Madison Square Garden. Whether we get a Stanley Cup Champion or Not this Fall, we would have the inevitable, not so fun, Expansion Draft Board.

This would not be Las Vegas's Race to the Expansion Draft, where it was having so many starts and false starts, and that was not having to infringe on the copyrights. This would not be a 40 Point Year into the 80 Point Year into a Nearly Destructive Stanley Cup.

Where it would be on July 25th, 2021 is going to be the road to the Opening Night, and this would not be a true Expansion Draft in the sense of having Minnesota vs. Columbus, but, it would make rival fan bases anxious. Or even double deals that Ryan Reaves was the equalizer in a Western Conference Champion, but, here would be the Initial Deep Sea Adventurers in Seattle NHL History.

The Blues could be 700 Day Plus Champions, or we'd luck into the Combination of Montreal-Edmonton or Montreal-Minnesota Stanley Cup Finals in 2020 or 2021, and there is not a way you'd have Back to Back or even a Stanley Cup Dynasty. You'd have a Loud and Angry Fan Base who'd be Loud and Angry at all times. That would work to your advantage or your disadvantage.

Las Vegas would likely be a Stanley Cup Champion by Opening Night 2021, and that would not make the Quest for the Cup any easier or better.
