## Resource

The NHL continues to be linked to expansion, with Texas emerging as one of the most talked-about destinations for a potential new franchise. But what would that actually mean for the St. Louis Blues? In this episode of Locked On Blues, we break down how a Texas expansion team could impact the Blues, from the expansion draft and player protection decisions to possible divisional realignment and the long-term effects on the Western Conference. Could St. Louis lose a key piece of its roster? Would a new rival emerge? We discuss the biggest questions Blues fans should be asking if the NHL expands once again.
