Looks like expansion is going to be on the horizon. NHL must have done the leg work with the parties in ATL and HOU (Fertittia, unless there's another group looking to do what the 2 ATL groups are doing and building a new arena outside the county where the NBA team is located) to be bringing that up with the BOG.
So, earliest, would be 26/27 season if an expansion team awarded to HOU sometime during the 24/25 season (2026 draft).
So, every team should be on notice to prepare for a potential ED for 2026 or 2027 (unless both locations are building new arenas and the HOU one won't temporarily play in the Toyota Center).
