Merriam Webster, Oxford Dictionaries, Random House, HarperCollins. Checked four dictionaries before I made my claim. None list "yetis".

Maple Leaf...Maple Leaves....Maple Leafs.

Outlaws' is about the epitome of a random team generator in an EA NHL game create a team mode.

I agree, but that's just the nature of the beast. New names "sounds silly and like video game create-a-team" simply because they haven't been normalized by existing for decades.

Most the existing team nicknames in all sports would sound REALLY DUMB if they hadn't already been normalized for decades.

Just try it cross-sport with nicknames... Utah Dodgers? It's hockey, not Dodgeball. Utah Athletics? It's a sport, they're all athletic. Utah Cardinals? What does a bird have to do with hockey? Utah Blue Sox? So uninspired.

Release it at the opening face-off of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals...I'm sure Gary would want it that way.

Normally I would say they would just do it at the draft, but since the orgs won't be there this time....they'll probably do it right after the SCF

The Utah Nickhames? Okay.

Yeah but Outlaws has been used for so many minor league teams you can't really use it for a major league team. Yes most names eventually grow on people. Other than Devil Rays. There are a couple of people who still wish Toronto had revived the Huskies name instead of the Raptors but that faded after they won the title.
