Anyone with $500 million can apply for an NHL expansion team... and some Seattle moguls are considering it! 

The NHL says it is open to accepting two new teams for the 2017-2018 season.

Las Vegas wants a team and is already building an arena. Considering the decision to expand was made at a meeting in the Bellagio on The Strip, it's no surprise Nevada is likely getting a team.

Seattle lost its NBA basketball team because it wouldn't build a new stadium. There are already THREE groups vying to build a large NHL stadium in different parts of the Puget Sound. That won't be a problem.

I think our chances are good!

It will be the first time the NHL has expanded since 1999!
