<p>The established NHL teams are not pulling in much revenue when you compare them to the NFL, MLB and NBA and many of the teams claim they are just coming out ahead when the fiscal year is done. #Seattle more than likely cannot support a NHL team for several years hoping that the revenue increases each year to pay off the initial debt of bringing a team to #Seattle.</p>

</div><div class="indented">Reply - JulienSwift - 2/21/16 6:50pm<br><p>the die hard fans will stick with a team even after a lock out. It takes the "feel good" fans a while to come back.</p>
</div><div class="indented">Reply - JulienSwift - 2/21/16 6:51pm<br><p>the feel good fans are those who show up when the team is winning but are no where to be found when the team is slumping</p>
