Decision on NHL expansion could be a couple of months away

If you’re one of the people asking, “What happened to the NHL’s expansion?” We might have an answer for you: Nothing yet.

The member of the National Hockey League executive committee met in New York on Wednesday to have an update on the expansion application review process. A source told the Review Journal that although both bids were discussed, no decision was made.

Lead investor in Las Vegas NHL franchise Bill Foley is not surprised and said that the final decision is still a couple of months away and he is patiently waiting for it.

“I think it will be March or April, and then we can start putting one foot in front of another,” Foley told LVRJ. I feel we’re in a very good position at this point. We’re respecting the process and hoping for a positive outcome.”
