I wouldnt mind seeing hockey back in winnipeg, but am I the only one who would rater see Seattle with a team first? I think that is a market underserved by sports with pretty good grassroots hockey. Growing up in Vancouver we played a fair amount of tournaments in Seattle and there were no shortage of teams. If Butthead wants to grow the game south of the border, I dont know why Seattle hasnt been a market eyed before, it seems like a natural fit.
I guess the key-arena/sonics debacle might have put some people off though.

Seattle needs an arena before anything can happen team wise. Otherwise, I'm with you on them deserving a team. It would be an amazing addition and would have an instant rival in the Canucks. However, Canada needs another team (either in Winnipeg, Quebec City, or more deservingly Hamilton) before Seattle gets one.
