Expansion team? Nice, I didnt even know they were trying to add another team so quickly after Vegas.

Yup. Just made official a few minutes ago. The 32nd team.

no surprise here. They were obviously looking to rebalance the divisions asap, they obviously love expansion team money, and the other two most likely cities (KC and QC), have some issues.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they're the first league to 36, and sooner than a lot of other people expect.

yay, more traffic.

i go to t-birds (WHL team) games every now and then since they are only like 15 minutes away. i hope no public money is going to the stadium, i at least don't remember voting for any.

Haven't followed very closely but it's contingent to the improvements being made to key arena. Dunno if the city or investors or both are paying for that.

It's likely once those are done seattle might get the sonics back as well.

i don't want the sonics back, I'm done with NBA for good. I follow my alma mater, Gonzaga, and that's good enough for me.

Will this be the first expansion team that comes from a city that already won the Stanley cup? What more does Seattle hockey have to prove?

Hold up, if my math is correct, if they only added one team, does that mean the NHL had 31 teams last year?

How does that work like, divisionally? Was there just one division with 6 teams or something?

Does this mean they'll adjust the divisions to all have the same number of teams again? Because I hate this uneven number bullshit. I was absolutely thrilled when they balanced the divisions in the MLB when Houston went to AL west.

3 divisions of 8, 1 of 7. Before Vegas, both West disivions had 7 while both east had 8. It was dumb as fuck

me, too, but I still think Houston should have moved to the NL west, and either Arizona or Colorado to the AL West. Worked well enough for them, though, lol.

No other league has 34 teams, so they'd be the first to 34. Idk where you'll be putting up 4 more teams. Canada could maybe fit two more.

I expect the next four will enter as a group, or close to it. they won't stay at 34 for the same reason they won't stay at 31 -- you can't balance it. It might be 10-20 years, but it's definitely a matter of when.

as for where... KC, QC, and Portland seem likely. The fourth could be a lot of places. I doubt Atlanta gets another shot, but you never know... Toronto (somewhere in the GTA, anyway), Indy... There are options.

Sure you could balance them; just need to get rid of the four division format they just adopted. I imagine something different would be created if they add two more teams.

Fuck it, conference divisions!

Forgot that 34 does not divide well lol

I don't like the divisions now. I much preferred the top 8 teams of the conference makes the playoffs.

Good point. It's a bit lame that both Texas teams are in the same league, but at the same time, NL East has both Philly and Pittsburgh, so it's not without precedent.
