The NHL has settled on Las Vegas as its choice for expansion, provided organizers can come up with a $500 million fee, a person with direct knowledge of the decision told the Associated Press.
The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because details have not been released by the league ahead of its Board of Governors meeting on June 22. Quebec City was also considered for expansion.
A second person who had been briefed on the decision said Las Vegas was a "done deal" following the recommendation of the NHL's executive committee.
