If Quebec comes in as an expansion team then Columbus would have to go West. You can't have a 17-14 split.

Imagine the Montreal/Quebec rivalry games.

Who in their right mind thinks an NHL team in Las Vegas is a good idea? Smh

The most I know about Vegas' non-tourist population comes from COPS re-runs. I'm not even sure who would be the target there.

The rumors of NHL expansion to Las Vegas is gross. Would be a disaster, there shouldn't even be an expansion anyway, just move Florida and Phoenix.
Sucks that the 2nd one is so far away.
Guy from the 4th period on this:
I'm inclined to believe him with how far Bettman went to make sure the Coyotes stayed.

Going to water down the talent pool, I dislike the idea.

I think that is largely a fallacy. Scouting quality and the metrics boom will keep the league as and more competitive even with expansion.

It's already the Vegas Cocaineers
This is such a dumb argument. When you have the CHL, NCAA, Europe, KHL, etc., there is no shortage of players for the NHL to bring in. An additional ~45 players is nothing.
KC isn't getting a team. They've already said they make way more money without a team than they would with one.
Seattle and QC should get the expansion teams and then Phoenix can move to Milwaukee/Houston in 4 years.

Vegas doesn't have any sports team? What?
Yeah but we can't get THREE expansion teams. So it's either Vegas/Seattle, Vegas/Quebec or Seattle/Quebec, which leaves the Question of what happens with the third. Unless the third just gets the Coyotes.
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Which is hilarious, because it would be how Bettman was remembered in the future.
If Quebec doesn't get a team out of this, somebody needs to be fired.

What the hell is wrong with that Ducks girls arm?
There isn't a third unless you believe this Vegas nonsense, which I don't.
Yep. QC and Seattle are easily the two most deserving cities right now. Vegas shouldn't even be on the list.
They have minor league stuff.
They had an ECHL team but they aren't playing next year? Looks like they are back for the 15-16 season.
And that team is playing on the roof or something.

Let's say that there are 2 new franchises following this upcoming season, does that mean those teams get the top 2 picks in the draft?
No. Unless that's changed. I don't think any of the 4 most recent expansion teams got the #1 pick.

I don't think Marvie can stand to lose another of his "favorites".
Yeah....exciting stuff. Just look at all the superstars in the last expansion draft:

I already lost several this offseason.

You should start an AIHL team called the Darwin Dstrdls

Natural Selection would constantly keep them out of the AIHL Finals Sponsored By Air Canada.
Speaking of which, both Melbourne teams are in the final 4, as are the CBR Brave and the Sydney Ice Dogs. The Melbourne Mustangs ended the year on top of the ladder.
BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR, MARVIE.

For you , Dstrdl, anything. Here's the small album I just put together: http://imgur.com/a/6s1KZ. In there you will find a couple of pictures of chubby little 11 year old Calamari (edit: no, I would have been 12 or 13). The signed version of my picture with Stu Grimson is on my grandpa's wall (I was close to if not 6' tall then and you will notice that Stu is hunching down to get in the shot with me), and the jersey you see me wearing while I'm sitting on the bench was shortly thereafter signed by the entire team, and is still in my closet at my parents' house. I took some cool examples from a couple of the programs from the 98/99 season, as well as some from the inaugural game program too.
I left the signed Kariya game-used skates and Kariya game-shattered stick that I have mentioned before as well as the Ruslan Salei signed sticks and a few more signed pictures, pucks, etc at my parents' house...whenever I get those here I will show you some pics of them too.
Oh, here's the signature that I couldn't make out:

Oh my god CalaDanny, those are all amazing. I'd be frothing at the mouth to even be in proximity of most of that merch, and positively #dead at sitting in the bench while wearing a team-signed jersey.
Congratulations, this officially makes you the biggest Ducks fan out of all of Ducks-age. Amazing.
