Howard Bloom ‏@SportsBizNews
NHL expansion report set to be published at @sportingnews #NHLExpansion

Heard a clip from Bloom on the radio - he was saying that since owners don't share expansion $ with the players in the new CBA, it is a no-brainer. $50 M for each franchise.

Players get 100 new jobs, and hockey revenues will increase.

CTV clip:

When asked if he had a reliable source he said "do the economics". Has to be pure conjecture.
