The time has come. The NHL is ready to expand beyond 30 teams.
Barring something unforeseen, commissioner Gary Bettman will emerge from today’s board of governors meeting at the Bellagio Hotel and announce that the league is opening a formal expansion process, according to several sources.
It will be the first time it’s happened under Bettman’s watch.
John Ziegler was still running the league when Ottawa and Tampa Bay joined for the 1992-93 season.

Bettman is expected to leave the process open-ended: The NHL is ready to entertain bids, but won't commit to a specific number of teams. It will likely end up being two, but no guarantees will be made.
