The investors promised the press they will be getting an excellent team for the renovation. The NHL league has currently 31 teams as they added Las Vegas Knights recently. The Western and Eastern Conferences now have almost the same amount of teams, the Western with one less. A expansion of this magnitude can put Seattle as a top contender of the league. In 2008, Seattle lost against the SuperSonics the NBA location. NBA talked to the press and explained that the league in not involved on the renovation of the arena. The Seattle Storms and the Seattle Redhawks are the ones that will be using the stadium.
