From Las Vegas: The NHL is considering expansion to a 33rd team, with Houston or Austin, Texas, as potential locations. Billionaire Dan Friedkin and his family are involved in the process. Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly has commented on the situation, indicating that there are still obstacles to clear before approval can be given.
Further details about the expansion process are available, including comments from Daly. The league is in the middle of exploring possible expansion, but it appears that more work needs to be done before a decision can be made.
The NHL has not yet announced a timeline for when a decision on expansion might be made, but it is clear that the process is ongoing.
