Seattle has the Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders (refernce to Puget Sound) and formerly the Super Sonics (reference to Aircraft industry). The Thunderbirds are the WHL team and I would think that would not be the way to go. It's hard to come up with a good original name IMO.
Kansas City? Chiefs, Royals are there. Kings are now in Sacramento. Blades was the IHL team (LAME). Scouts (LAME) became the Rockies (Awesome) and then the Devils (Awesome).
Las Vegas? Stars is taken but seems natural. Gamblers? Who wants to use an old USFL name??
I would love to hear some suggestions!

When Seattle was in the old pro WHL, their name was the Totems. Could be recycled.
