The Seattle Kraken, a newcomer in the NHL, is quickly becoming a model for successful expansion franchises. The days of expansion teams struggling with years of defeats and limited playoff chances are over.
Taking cues from the experiences of the Senators, Ducks, and other teams, the NHL has allowed clubs like Seattle to advance rapidly and be competitive. The league's $650 million entry fee and the renovation of the previous Key Arena complex indeed warrant a strong market.
To honor Seattle's breathtaking natural setting, the Kraken has decided to adjust their jerseys and emblem, dedicating a match called "Green Night" to the area.
