Bettman says he is "fairly certain" he'll have more definitive word on expansion at the June 22 B of G meeting in Las Vegas. Four options.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Options: 1. No expansion; 2. Expansion but deferred to later date; 3. Expansion by 1 team; 4. expansion by 2 teams.

Executive committee will make its expansion recommendation to B of G "at least a week before" the June 22 board meeting in Vegas.

NHL expansion could be deferred to 2018-19, per Bill Daly. There's still a chance for 2017-18, though.

I would think that if there is no official decision until June 22, deferred expansion is the more likely option.
