SEATTLE (AP) The aggressive timeline for the renovation of Seattle’s KeyArena remains on schedule with the hope of breaking ground on construction by the end of the year.Steve Mattson Custom Washington Capitals Jerseys , director of operations for Oak View Group, said Monday that the goal remains to have approval to take control of the arena at Seattle Center by late fall and begin the construction process before the end of 2018.”Every day we move them along a little bit and we feel really good about where we’re at right now,” Mattson said.Oak View Group released new renderings of the remodeled arena on Monday, beginning a busy week for the group that is looking to bring the NHL to Seattle for the 2020 season. The group has formally filed for an expansion franchise with the NHL and is kicking off its season-ticket campaign on Thursday.The new renderings focus largely on the south side of the current building where a new glass-enclosed atrium will serve as the main entrance for the building. The new atrium will be the biggest addition to the arena, but the facility will be gutted and rebuilt seemingly from the top down. It’s all part of a $660 million project that if completed will finally solve Seattle’s longtime arena problem.Redeveloping the building isn’t easy because of the historical landmark status of the arena’s roofline. That limited what Oak View and architectural design firm Populous could do in creating a big enough footprint for a modern facility without being able to expand outward on three of the four sides of the building.That’s why the atrium addition is so important to the design. It will be the primary entrance for the building and bring spectators in at the top of the arena. The arena will feature four levels and Populous associate principle Geoff Cheong said the design attempts to embrace the history of the building.”We’ve talked about the arena maintaining its cherished www.officialhockeyjetsshop.com , humble character within the neighborhood, within Seattle Center … but this is a remarkable, new identity, this south atrium. Its contemporary nature is very transparent and very inviting and a great first impression for residents and visitors to Seattle Center to embrace.”— The Edmonton Oilers have moved Ryan Strome to the New York Rangers for Ryan Spooner.

He originally joined the Oilers in the summer of 2017 when Edmonton traded Jordan Eberle to the New York Islanders. The hope was the Strome would be a slightly less expensive version of Eberle Winnipeg Jets Hoodies Authentic , giving the Oilers some scoring in the top six and room on their salary cap as Connor McDavid became a very expensive superstar to keep. It didn't turn out that way as Strome had only 36 points in 100 games.advertisingSpooner was part of the Rick Nash trade that sent Nash to the Boston Bruins. A 40 point player in Boston, Spooner never quite put things together in New York and failed to grab a top-six role as a center, scoring only 18 points in 36 games.Peter Chiarelli, the Edmonton Oilers general manager originally drafted Spooner when he was with the Bruins and the lack of production coming from Strome made this trade an option Edmonton was willing to take. The Oilers must see a higher ceiling in Spooner and it may be that he has that considering he's had runs where he's scored at a much better clip than Strome 鈥?in 2017-18, Spooner scored 41 points in 59 games Winnipeg Jets Hats Authentic , good for .69 points per game on average.advertisingThe #Oilers have acquired forward Ryan Spooner from the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Ryan Strome. pic.twitter.com/IhY2vfv62G— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) November 16, 2018The New York Rangers have agreed to retain $900K in salary, making this an even trade in terms of salary cap hit to the team. The only difference is that Spooner has one more season after this one on his contract, making him an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2019-20 season. Strome, meanwhile Custom Winnipeg Jets Jerseys , is an RFA at the end of this year.The question will be if a change to scenery can get either player going offensively since both have struggled to open this year's NHL campaign.What This MeansBoth teams wanted to switch things up and the Rangers wanted to get out from a two-year commitment to Spooner. The Oilers, however, might try Spooner on the top-line wing spot and in a prime position on the power play where Spooner has an ability to get his offence going. Should he, the trade will look like a win for Edmonton.advertising
