I'm a little late to the game, and while I think most team names that don't end with an "S" sound off, I prefer the name Kraken to Sockeyes. Both sound a bit amateur though.

Logo looks really solid. Colours look good too, but I'm not a fan of the busyness of the sleeves. Look at the arm from the tip of the hand to the shoulder: thick dark blue - thin red line - thin dark blue - medium baby blue - thick sky blue - dark blue. 6 BLOCKS ON JUST ONE ARM! Sometimes the simple scheme works best, so I don't know why the NHL allows teams to bastardize their uniforms with so many colour blocks. Same goes for Vegas'. It cheapens the look.
