NHL expansion plans are proceeding accordingly.
Quebec City and Las Vegas - have been invited to participate in the second phase of the NHL’s expansion application process.
The third phase is expected to begin in mid-August and wrap up on Sept. 4
before the bid candidates are sent to the NHL's board of governors at a
later date.
The NHL isn't expected to expand until 2017 at the earliest. Commissioner Gary Bettman proposed an expansion fee of $500 million. That's a significant jump from the $80 million fee paid by the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild, when the NHL last expanded to 30 teams in 2000.
