Except for the fact an NBA team played in the facility for decades. You're in NYC, I assume you've schelped down to Islander games just to take a peek. You're telling me NCC (or whatever it is called now) is NHL quality yet an NHL franchise plays there and it was bad when I went to games in mid/late 90s.
I don't recall Bettman forcing the Isles to move?
Is Key Arena state of the art and the most modern NBA facility? No and I'm not saying that but it was functional without all the bell and whistles. I don't recall Stern making the Sonics move based on Key Arena. He did support Bennett's plan however.
And frankly, if the Kings move to Seattle, guess where they'll play for a couple of years? Not the Tacoma Dome.
