It appears that the New York Rangers will be heading west for the playoffs, as The Las Vegas Review-Journal has put out a story saying Vegas will be confirmed as a hub city for the Stanley Cup Playoffs by June 22.
The reports stem from sources who stated that when the NHL and NHLPA met for the first time Friday, the players were told that Las Vegas was the frontrunner to be one of the hubs.
It is also noted that nothing official has come from the NHL and that The NHLPA executive board is expected to meet as early as Monday to discuss hubs.
