I would be a little surprised if the leauge actually expanded by two teams at the same time, only because I don't think Quebec is an expansion target. But assuming Las Vegas comes in alone, my guess is that where they slot the team in depends on who finishes second last. And by that, I mean that Toronto has the political clout to stay in that second spot if they suck that much in 2015-16.
Otherwise, I expect Vegas will be given the #2 slot in the 2017 draft. What I wonder though, is if they lock Vegas in and just draw for 1st and 3rd overall, or if they give Vegas the chance to win the lottery and draft 1st along with the risk of falling to fourth.
