Among other things, they discussed the salary cap, which will rise to $87.7 million in 2024-2025. However, it's a comment reported by journalist Jérémy Filosa from 98.5 that caught attention, especially for hockey fans in Quebec.
So far, nothing surprising since many rumors are pointing in this direction. But what's particularly interesting is that LeBrun expects the league to add four new teams, increasing the total to 36.
This unexpected twist, considering the NHL might be open to adding four teams, undoubtedly gives hope to the people of Quebec who have long wished for the return of the Nordiques.
Cities like Houston, Salt Lake City, and Atlanta have also shown interest in possibly establishing a team.
But we've heard this movie several times before, and if a reputed insider like Pierre LeBrun is reporting such statements, there must be some truth to it.
That said, we're still far from an NHL announcement on expansion, but it's highly likely that hockey fans in Quebec will once again start dreaming of seeing the famous blue jersey on NHL rinks.
