Now...as we know...during next years Expansion Draft, each team in the league can 'protect' only one goalie.

Unlike the Kraken...Utah should go for a 'Top Shelve / Trier - Starting - A-1 Goalie' (may cost some extra cash...especially w/ Salary Cap issues), in the pipes. 👍🏽

There's an expansion draft? I thought the team was just moving from Arizona.

Dear Hockey Fans:
🤷🏽‍♂️ Now, this article is only 'opinion' mind you...;

"Opinion: Utah Has a Clear Choice for Its NHL Team Name"

"Last week, NHL Utah owner Ryan Smith provided a big update regarding Utah's potential team name.

Smith shared on The Pat McAfee Showthat there are four finalists and noted that Yeti [YES!!!] and Mammoth are among them. :thumbsup:

Hearing that Yeti and Mammoth are among the finalists to be Utah's team name is not surprising.

Back in April, I ranked the original eight names trademarked and had both of them in the top three.

While Mammoth would be a good name to go with, the Utah Yeti would be the best.

From a marketing standpoint, Utah would have much to work with by going with Yeti as its team name.

There is a perfect fit to have a professional hockey team named after a mythical creature known for living in the snow.

The logo and merchandise have lots of potential to be spectacular. The Yeti would also make for a great NHL mascot.

Going with the Utah Yeti would also create or enhance two new rivalries in the NHL.

The Colorado Avalanche and Utah teams would immediately connect because they're in neighboring states and will compete with each other in the Central Division.

Having the Yeti would be like a Battle of the Snow, and it would add some more backstory to a new rivalry.

The Avalanche once had a yeti foot as a shoulder logo, and their original mascot was Howler the Yeti.

However, Utah would also spark a rivalry with the Seattle Kraken if it goes
with Yeti.

The Kraken, of course, are named after a mythical creature as well. There would naturally be some bantering among both clubs' fans about whether the beast of the mountains or the monster of the seas comes out on top.

With the Kraken still being a young team in the league, they would benefit from having a new rivalry".

One nickname choice is allowed in the second round of the survey. The initial survey allowed fans to choose up to four of their favorite names.

Smith mentioned Yeti and Mammoth as two of the finalists. :thumbsup:

According to SEG, more than 520,000 people voted in the initial survey and the six finalists featured in the second round “were resounding fan favorites” that made up 60 percent of the vote".
