NHL players will tell you they'd prefer a future expansion team to land in Quebec City, but that doesn't mean Seattle isn't doing its all to bring hockey to town.

In fact, according to Chris Daniels of NBC affiliate KING-TV, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has already agreed to a $600 million proposal from Oak View Group, which plans to construct an arena at the city's Seattle Center -- an arena capable of housing both an NBA and NHL team by 2020.

This, of course, doesn't mean the NHL is guaranteed to run to Seattle, even if yet another franchise could be looking for a new home in the near future.
