Can we all finally agree that Utah's NHL team will blow up w/ success?!

The first 5 years of newness will help. New arena will help

You would think the NIL carouse would drive away fans. It certainly degrades the

IGlowInTheDark

But if K. Young can find a way to get continuity, it might be the secret sauce

cougarmeister

That's laughable- maybe if they retain Hall, but it sounds pretty sketchy right

I said "IF"

I could see some assistant coaches getting announced around noon today.

I agree. It's Dunson and Lewis.

CougLyfe

Ryan already got one thing right, making the team name “Utah” and not“Salt Lake”

GhostRider

8:34am

Outlaws much better than Venom or Fury.

threezeroeight

8:36am

Those are both so bad. Like a little league team where the kids choose the name

DanSmith

Venom and Furries are both such terrible names.

By far the best mockups out there

LaVellIfIKnow

I think Salt Lake sounds better for hockey. I also like the SL options on hats
