“I said (Wednesday) I thought we were on the path, I didn’t know it would happen so quickly. We are thrilled that it is happening. I will be talking to the NHL commissioner soon. I’m also hoping to talk to the NBA commissioner because I know I’m going to get that.
“We saw the (Vancouver) Canucks are really excited to come here and get beat. And we’re excited to go up north. We remember Seattle has more Stanley Cups and we plan to add to that.
“We are looking forward to bringing the NHL to Seattle.”
-Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times has more.
