I would also love to hear the rationale behind a team in Vegas....the other three major leagues in NA have clearly had all the time in the world to tap into that market and have refused to do so.

- Bettman doesn't need to add to his legacy. He has an obligation to add to the pockets of his bosses - which are the NHL owners. Expansion accomplishes that
- the other leagues didn't have the MGM build them a major league baseball or NFL-sized stadium and need a tennant now did they?
