The NHL is set to expand, with a 33rd team confirmed and a potential 34th team on the horizon within a decade. Bill Daly confirmed the move during the NHL European Press tour, stating they are moving ahead with Texas, with Houston and Austin being the most likely locations for the new team.

Larkin's trade value has suffered due to his inability to score during 5on5 play last season.
