History

Historical Context

The NHL's expansion to Las Vegas in 2017 introduced the Golden Knights, who remarkably reached the Stanley Cup Final in their inaugural season, a feat matched only by the 1918 Toronto Arenas. This expansion reflects the league's growth, with 32 teams now competing, and highlights the increasing financial stakes in professional sports, as evidenced by Jack Eichel's recent $108 million contract extension.
