The Smith Entertainment Group is asking fans to help them decide what to name the NHL's newest franchise that will be playing in Salt Lake City. 

The Arizona Coyotes are no more, as the team's assests – players, coaches and management – head north from the desert to Utah. However, SEG, which also owns the NBA’s Utah Jazz, will have to start anew with an original nickname for their squad. 

A survey with 20 names has been made available to fans, and it will stay up until May 22. Four names can be chosen, though only one vote is allowed per person.

With that said, let’s take a look at the top five names on the survey that would be the coolest to see on their NHL jersey next season. 

The last team to enter the NHL was Seattle’s expansion team, and they decided to go with Kraken as their nickname. So why not take another mythical creature (or totally real creature depending on what you believe) and put it in the league?

Yeti makes tons of sense for Utah, considering its icy conditions and various mountains perfect for skiing. 

Like the Kraken, SEG can have fun with the logo. If done correctly, it could be a menacing beast on the jerseys and some icy blue, white and gray color schemes come to mind as well. 

Lastly, doesn’t Utah Yeti flow off the tongue? This might be the best option for a variety of reasons.
