The National Hockey League doesn’t give a damn whether Nevada sportsbooks take wagers on its new Las Vegas expansion franchise.

One year ago, the NHL announced that its newest franchise, the Las Vegas Golden Knights, would be slapping on the skates in time for the puck dropping on the 2017-18 season. Under Nevada gaming regulations, the league had 30 days before the start of the season to request that the state’s sports betting operators expunge the Knights’ games from their betting slate.

On Wednesday, ESPN reported that the NHL had declined to make such a request, and thus Nevada residents and visitors to the state will be able to legally wager on the Knights when their season commences against the Dallas Stars on October 6.

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told ESPN that the league was focused on “making sure we get equitable treatment with the NFL in terms of how teams are dealt with on the book.” Daly said the league had had discussions about betting with the team and with MGM Resorts (which owns the arena in which the Knights will play), and “there may be some steps done in respect to that, but we didn’t feel like it was an appropriate time to make the global request.”
