The NHL is reconsidering expansion, particularly in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, and Phoenix, according to Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. In Atlanta, two ownership groups are vying for a new franchise, with a third led by former player Anson Carter emerging. Daly expressed frustration over a miscommunication regarding an expansion proposal from Krause Sports & Entertainment. Additionally, the NHL is open to returning a team to Phoenix with the right location, despite past ownership issues.
