That's true.
Seattle has been rumoured to be a NHL destination ever since Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton came into the league. There simply hasn't been the grass-roots, ground-level support for a NHL team in Seattle. Despite a new arena and possibly some money behind a team, without some real local interest for a team in Seattle it will likely turn out no better than the Phoenix, Atlanta, Florida, etc. expansion.
