Of course he did... The NHL doesn't like others to break their news for them. I just don't believe it, the NHL stands to make a lot of money off of adding more teams to the league... I guess we will find out soon, right? Personally, for me, the more the merrier.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman shoots down expansion talk: Commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday a repo... http://t.co/tZzhWwRh1F #NHL

The Canadian Press -- Gary Bettman has vehemently denied the NHL is considering expansion.
But the commissioner said if it ever does, prospective owners may have to pay up big time.
Sports Business News reported via Twitter last week the NHL will expand into Las Vegas, Seattle, and Quebec City while adding a second franchise in Toronto by 2017.
On Wednesday, Bettman called the report a "complete fabrication," and took issue with the franchise fees cited in the story — $1.4 billion US, or $350 million per team.
'Nobody's moving. And speculation to the contrary not only is wrong, it's unfair to the team and their fans who are being speculated about.'
