The Soon To Be NHL-Owned Knights

Seriously, how does Bettman keep his job? More sunbelt hockey please. This is just fake profits for the owners -- taking LV's admission fee because it puts $15 million in each owners' pocket.

Deej, support out here for this team is rampant  
gtt350 : 11/8/2016 11:07 am : link
seating almost sold out. this is Vegas baby, they will sell out every night.
each visiting team will also have plenty of support
At least the conferences will be closer to even.

Year one isnt the issue. Year 10 is the issue. As for visiting teams, true for some big market teams. The Winnipeg ex-pats in LV arent going to fill the arena.
if things dont work out here in ten years they tear it down

trust me
I think

I agree, but man Canadians do love to travel (specific to Winnipeg).

I can absolutely see a couple thousand fans make a mini vacation out of the Vegas game(s). Maybe it will wear off, but that's a cold winter in Winnipeg and I don't think that flight is any worse than NY to Miami or something like that. and probably cheaper.
PJ, spot on

It's the NHL so

Frozen Knights makes sense for 100 degree Vegas IMO.
hopefully  
Les in TO : 11/8/2016 1:10 pm : link
it will be a better name than the Las Vegas Posse, the short-lived CFL team during their ill-fated expansion to the US market in the 90s.

I vote for ron mexico's suggestion.

And with the first pick.. Las Vegas selects

lots of high sticking penalties will be called.
I'd vote for "Snake Eyes." It would make a terrific logo.

I hope that is not too political (mentioning voting). :-)
I think "Aces" actually won in a local poll  
widmerseyebrow : 11/8/2016 6:46 pm : link
But the owner is an Army guy and wanted Golden Knights. Except he can't use it, so now both the owner and the fans are going to get a name they don't really care for. I think they've completely botched it.
I would hate golden knights
