That’s where the league will stage its annual awards show on Wednesday night. The Board of Governors is comprised of team leaders and is the NHL’s version of the House of Lords.It just so happens, for becoming an expansion city. Bill Foley is touting his ability to lure season ticket purchasers and promising to have an NHL-worthy arena ready by April 2016.Seattle continues to make rumblings about its interest in an expansion franchise. Quebec City is downright ravenous, and Kansas City and Houston also are po sibilities. No, we didn’t forget western Ontario.Look, no one is saying the NHL will expand. The lures would be to balance the conferences, which now stand 16 Milwaukee Brewers Hats teams Eastern, 14 teams Western; and the per franchise.
