I hope Seattle comes out as a competitive team. The NHL was not as fun during the expansion era where teams entered the league and were boring, low-skill bottom feeders for years on end.
Who actually wanted to watch games against the Panthers, the Wild, Nashville, Anaheim, Atlanta etc.?
Those games sucked. They were like dead spots in the schedule.
Give me competitive, entertaining hockey over the Minnesota Wild or Atlanta Thrashers expansion teams any day. I don't want the whole league to be made worse just because I'm upset that the Flames struggle with mediocrity.
