At the time of composing, the NHL has actually not revealed any prepare for growth.
The topic was talked about at the last NHL guvs’ conference, and Gary Bettman likewise discussed the concern at his All-Star Game interview.
There’s absolutely nothing concrete yet … But the NHL is thinking of the job, which leads us to think that there will be brand-new clubs in the future.
Quebec City want to participate in the growth procedurehowever we understand that this concept is not popular with NHL management.
That stated, according to David Pagnotta on Twitter, Salt Lake City (Utah) and Atlanta appear to be in the thick of the race for a club.
It’s been a bit quieter on the growth chatter recently, since of the due date, however it’s seeming like there’s continued development towards Atlanta 3.0 and word of a proposed arena district appears to have Sept/Oct timeline. Utah 33. Atlanta 34.

That’s a downer for Quebec City. We understand that the concept will never ever move forward, as long as Gary Bettman is in charge of the league.
And it’s much more of a pity in the sense that Atlanta has actually currently had 2 possibilities and it never ever exercised. It’s not a hockey market, unlike Quebec City, where we’ve been waiting on the Nordiques to come back for so long …
Anyhow.
By including 2 clubs, the overall variety of groups in the NHL would increase to 34. That’s a lot, and it’s “stressing” in a manner since there will not be much parity in the 4 corners of the league if the situation pertains to fulfillment.
It likewise minimizes the quality of play on the ice.
At the end of the day, nevertheless, it’s clear that this issue does not impact NHL executives.
Cash talks, as they state …
