Seattle doesn't work, the NHL team would be at best fifth in the sports pecking order and maybe even all the way down at seventh. Kansas City....don't make me laugh. Toronto 2, that's it, that's the list, and that won't just cost a relocation fee, but the payoff to the Leafs and Sabres to go into the market. It's actually a remarkably empty threat. It seems like they're really clinging to the hope Calgary is made up of a bunch of emotional people who can't think logically. Pretty insulting really.
I can't think of who else you have on the list but I assume you meant 6th, if they got an NBA team too.

Seahawks, Mariners, Sounders, Huskies, Sonics.

Then would be the NHL team.

Although the mariners and sounders are mostly summer sports and wouldn't typically be in direct competition and the huskies are done by the first week of December.
