Breaking: Reporter claims NHL sources have revealed expansion plans.
Keystone Press.

There isn't much to report here as the information has been limited, likely to protect the identity of confidential sources, but what little information we do have is huge.

According to a report from reporter Adrian Dater of Bleacher Report, multiple sources within the National Hockey Leagye have confirmed to him that Las Vegas will in fact be awarded an expansion franchise, and that it will be for the 2017-2018 season.

While Dater did add that the sources informed him the deal has yet to be approved by the NHL's Board of Governors he also stated that the sources described the expansion to Vegas as a "done deal."

The NHL has not responded to this report from Dater.
