NHL to Expand to 32 Teams
Adam Proteau
An NHL agent predicts that whenever a new CBA is signed, Gary Bettman will try salvaging his rep by announcing 2 expansion teams for Canada.
Allan Walsh
What hasn't been brought up in CBA debate thus far; The NHLs' expansion plans (Seattle and Quebec) when new CBA agreed upon. (1)
The NHL's little secret- $500M expansion fee per team. That's $1B divided up between the owners, players get nothing.
Pat Hickey
@walsha Nice job if they can get it but except for Leafs, the market price is about $175 million and they've been trouble getting that.
Hickey works for Montreal Gazette, Walsh for Octagon-Hockey and is a sports agent/lawyer (Jamal Mayers follows him), and Proteau is form TheHockeyNews.com and appears to have authored some books.

Wondering where teams will be?
Quebec and Seattle as Walsh suggested? Markham? Hamilton? Even Halifax or Moncton? Saskatoon once wanted the Blues, even had a deal in place, so maybe them?
