NHL expansion was a headline topic from the Board of Governor’s meeting this week, but the tone around the topic was much more cautious than just a few months ago.

Leah Merrall and Steve Peters reunite for a special edition of the PHNX Hockey Podcast to try to make sense of the questions raised around NHL expansion and what it all means for Arizona hockey.
