I would be absolutely floored if the NHL announced any expansion teams this summer.

Ah ha, got Valo on paper saying the Seattle Center can host NHL games. Nice to see you've come around...(just joking).
I'll update the NHL in Seattle thread with some news but there will be no NHL in Seattle without the NBA at least in the SODO iteration.
Most likely it will be something like a relocated NBA franchise plays in the Seattle Center until the new building and, at that point, an NHL team would come via expansion.
