It costs next to nothing to register a domain name. I figure some IT department has been tasked with buying up every possibility from a list of a thousand so the team doesn't get scooped when it does settle on one it wants to go with. The last thing they want is to decide on "Desert Knights" but be forced to pay some pasty kid from Wisconsin $50,000 for the URL.

They'll be teamname.nhl.com in the end anyways.

I actually agree but I 100% think this guy is making it up or listening to someone who thought it was funny to lie to him for twenty bucks.

Also if "Black Knights" somehow is a trademark issue with the London Knights I don't see how Desert Knights will go over any better.

black knights is a trademark issue with the army black knights

i hope it's looks vaguely arabic (cloth wrapped around head, curved swords, maybe riding a camel) so they get blamed by uptight people for cultural appropriation and also yelled at by lovely old white people for being ISIS-sympathizers

it's the best possible outcome imo

edit: to your end, the benevolent creator seems militaristic and out-of-touch enough to push for something that's crusade-themed. that could also be really good

If we're going with the Arabic knight motif I feel like a snake mascot would be more fitting

Among the other possibilities we've heard, the Las Vegas Desert Knights is the best one by a country mile, but the NHL shutting down anything gambling related like the Aces immediately off the bat is still super frustrating.

Crusaders by itself would be fine, even with the unfortunate connotations. Also, I think we need to see a major league team use a snake name. Cobras or Vipers or some poo poo.
