TSN Hockey Insiders Chris Johnston, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger joined host James Duthie to discuss whether the Sphere in Las Vegas could host the 2024 NHL Draft, the latest on restricted free agent Shane Pinto and how close the league might be to expanding yet again.
We’ve all seen the Sphere in Las Vegas. We know the NHL loves Vegas. Could there be an NHL Sphere tie in?It’s certainly something the league has explored and I think the reason we’re standing here in October and we don’t know where the June draft is because the league has looked at a lot of venues in Vegas. But I can confirm one of the ones they have considered is the Sphere. Probably the preeminent entertainment venue in the world now at a cost of $2.3 billion that’s just opening.
Interesting partnerships between USA Hockey, the NHL and the IIHF. Now, the United States is poised to host the under-18 men’s World Championship in 2025. This is a trial run as far as the NHL is concerned, the league doesn’t normally do these things. The hope is from a IIHF perspective that the NHL will continue to partner beyond 2025. What’s interesting is they expect to have testing pre-competition. That event would happen in April, so that event would be a nice tie-in to the NHL Draft.
