Also doubtful the NHL will allow the same owner for two teams especially if they are going to be in the same division.

Sorry, talking about the owners and operators of the arena, not the team. MGM, AEG, and the NHL have a history in Vegas, and now these two companies are building a massive arena on the strip.
