Bettman is obsessed about his money, and the NHL has seen big income increases because to the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights expansion teams. Fun fact: The NHL is�the only major sports league to have a new team added within ten years, and not just one, but two!�

Gary Bettman, the NHL, and the board of governors met yesterday to address a variety of topics relating to the NHL, but one subject in particular is gaining attention since it concerns three new potential scenarios.

Friedman on TJMS says Vegas and Seattle are two high revenue generating teams, they're not at the top but they are near the top and that's why Friedman feels Bettman fights for Arizona and that's why he wonders about Houston or Austin or Toronto 2.

Friedman doesn't believe expansion is imminent, but he does wonder if they get there someday because of the success Seattle and Vegas have been. Marek not so sure a 2nd team in Toronto is possible, especially with all the money the Leafs pay in revenue sharing.

It will be fascinating to watch what the league does if there is a new league in a few years since there would be an unbalanced playoff bracket with 33 teams in the NHL.
