Good for Seattle. After the screwing Stern gave to them (twice!), they should forget the NBA and focus on the NHL.

I don't see how a league that is basically being funded by 1/3 (if even that) of the franchises that seems to have labor issues any time a new CBA is due can further water down the product by adding another 2 teams when it's all said and done. This is not the NFL. If anything, they should be contracting about 4 teams (it'll never happen). I'm all for Seattle getting a franchise. I think it would be a rabid fanbase. But relocate a floundering franchise instead. But Bettman is so hellbent on having teams in Phoenix, Nashville, Miami, etc.
