If Vegas finds a way out of this but the Avs couldn't find a way out of Nichushkin's contract, this'll be one f***ed up league.

Why would Avs want to get rid of Nichuskin? Unless you want to close the Avs window.

We have no choice. We have to accept Nuke coming back. He is under contract and Avs just can't get rid of him... just like that.
Who is this bloke Don Sweeney? I heard him somewhere but sounds like he is from Boston or something.

I love stuff like that. Props to Sweeney.

He has really handed this poorly hasn't he. Great way to give Swayman leverage by trading away Ulmark. They do have Korpisalo, but let's say this extends to the season and Korpisalo/Bruins start poorly...

Houston, Atlanta and Phoenix will eventually get a team.
Then one "unknown" spot left after that to make it an even number and that will be it IMO.

It probably won't be it long-term (talking 20-30 years), but in the shorter term, 36 is really the cap. Lots of places lining up to be 36 too. Some uber rich local in a market a bit too small is likely the mix.
He's going to make an excellent GM one day.

One would assume Kansas City. I know Quebec City wants a team, but I don't think the NHL has any interest in adding another Canadian team.

Winnipeg's financial issues killed the Quebec hope.

Kansas City is very unlikely.
If Canada gets another team, it'll be in the GTA... issues with Toronto and Buffalo opposing is the biggest obstacle there.
Yeah, QC, like Winnipeg, just doesn't have the proper support from the corporate sector.

League is gonna let them terminate his deal with zero financial penalties. Meanwhile, they won't let the Avs terminate a guy who's been in the PAP three times.

It isn't the league, it is the NHLPA. Any termination will end up with a grievance. Odds are that would happen with this case for Lehner too, though just not showing up for a physical is beyond stupid by Lehner.

Milwaukee will have chatter, but would require Chicago giving up territory. Similar problem to GTA.
