The WEIRDEST NHL Expansion of All Time

1991 NHL Expansion Background: https://nathangabay.com/how-bobby-cla... 1991 NHL Expansion Draft Exposed Player List: https://historicalhockey.blogspot.com... Not Mike Craig Trade Tree: https://www.sportscardforum.com/threa... NHL expansion has always been imperfect. In some cases, it has been rushed or poorly thought out. Other times, no one bothered thinking about the unintended consequences. However, to the league’s credit, it has at least tried assist teams so they wouldn’t be abject. The six-team NHL expansion in 1967 saw all six new teams placed in their own conference and kind of allowed to do their own thing. It wasn’t pretty, but it was fun and fair, considering the riff-raff made available to them in that year’s expansion draft. In the various 1970s NHL expansion drafts, the new franchises received the top selections in that year’s entry draft in addition to picking various castoffs. And there is 1979 and the WHA teams coming into the NHL which is sort of its own thing altogether. Then 1991 came along and it was finally time for the NHL to have an even number of teams after more than a decade of playing with 21 franchises. Doing that, however, involved the single weirdest NHL expansion of all time. The story of the San Jose Sharks and the worst NHL expansion of all time begins in 1975, when California Golden Seals minority owners George and Gordon Gund convinced then-majority owner Melvin Swig to move the franchise to Cleveland. The move was disastrous, mostly because it was last-minute. The NHL wasn’t all that keen on removing a hockey team from the state of hockey while owners hated the idea of losing a potential expansion market and the fees which came with it. After behind closed doors haggling, it was announced the Gunds would sell the North Stars to an ownership group keeping the franchise in Minnesota (LOL) for $31.5 million. They, in turn, handed the NHL $50 million for an expansion franchise that would play in San Jose. However, George and Gordon Gund had to make a huge concession to the other NHL owners in order to get them to sign off on the entire deal.
