Rumor is that the league is considering an expansion to Seattle, Las Vegas, Quebec City and a second team in Toronto. Could we actually see hockey players in Las Vegas for a reason other than to bore the crap out of everyone who lost the remote? Would anyone here consider identifying as a fan of a new Toronto team? Would the league actually maintain the uneven conferences rather than simply expanding to 30 teams? Would any city still pay public money for a pro sports team? We'll probably have to wait until 2017 to find out.

Everyone's doing there "expansion draft protection list," so if you don't want to answer any of the above questions, give it a whirl in the comments.
