Seattle expansion drafts the Kraken. Thoughts on this team name?

Seattle gets Kraken, drafts 30, including Driedger

Focusing largely on a collection of budget-friendly players who want "to go out and play hard together, and win together," Seattle GM Ron Francis, coach Dave Hakstol and the expansion Kraken selected 30 players on Wednesday night in the expansion draft.

I dont know wtf Kraken is. I associate it with Sydney Powell and the election fraud lawsuits.

Seattle Kracken doesn’t sound too bad though. It’s a new NHL franchise for those who didn’t know.

Interesting time for expansion with COVID etc. especially in commie Seattle. Possibility of no fans at the game while trying to build a franchise with no name players?

The last time the NHL did an expansion draft like this the expansion team, the Vegas Knights, (edit) played for the Stanley Cup

They sold out the arena for season tickets in 12 minutes. There will be people at the games.

The Knights played for the Stanley Cup but didn't win.

The Seattle Dragons. They burn up the ice with razor sharp skating and fire pucks like a rail gun would with blinding speed, power and precision. They are the proverbial unstoppable force and the immovable object combined into one indomitable singularity.

Not a big NHL fan but that’s a great team name. Fuck Seattle though.

Seatlle is a very dirty city. In the proper downtown area they have an estimated 35,000 rats per block whereas New York only have 4000. Some are surprised that Seatlle has more, but the bums that shit on the street in Seattle don't have shit filled with fentanyl and the rats grow. New Your city bums shit is the most dangerous shit on the planet - the fucking rats don't have a chance.

A rat gang finds a big hot turd and they think its party time and they eat the shit out of that shit and in minutes they are so fucked up their hearts stop beating. Then the bums eat the rats and get high as a fucking kite. What a beautiful circle of life.

Kraken is the name for a sea monster name off the coast of Norway. That’s the real, legit definition. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Norway, they roll their eyes at it and dismiss it.

Next step…dismissing the name doesn’t mean anything, unless you’re a liberal. Then it means it’s offensive. Quite honestly, I’m shocked that a limp wristed city like Seattle would allow this. I think we should demand them change their name. I can’t lead the charge, as I’m Irish, which means I’m a drunk with a small cock.

The expansion drafts in the 90s were no different. What is different is there is a lot more quality talent in the league now. Plus you will see several teams leaving top 6 forwards or top 4 defensemen unprotected if they have contracts they want to get out from under. The salary cap has changed things in that regard.
