They could easily get teams in Canada, but some teams in the USA need to be contracted.

NHL doesn't want more teams in Canada, Winnipeg only got a team back because how bad the ownership situation in Atlanta was. NHL feels growing the game in non-traditional markets like Vegas will help grow the game. Personally, Vegas is the last city the NHL should try to expand to, at least Houston and Seattle have good reps as sports cities.

Excited to see what happens with Cam Talbot. Hoping to get a 1st but that might be wishful thinking.

They already talking about Quebec and another Toronto team.

NHL draft isn't as important compared to NFL or NBA. Most draft picks go to college or semi-pro to develop their game further. The elite go directly to the show.

I'm still cheesed on oilers getting the first pick. I feel bad for sabres and also NHL should change the rules and allow auston Matthews to get drafted by his hometown Phoenix
