Pittsburgh and Dallas out as hub city candidates

The NHL is well into its final stage of selecting hub cities for the NHL's comeback and today it was announced both Pittsburgh and Dallas are out of the running.

Dallas and Pittsburgh have also been informed they are no longer in the Hub city process, joining Columbus and Minnesota on the outs. The six that remain are Vegas, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, LA and Chicago.

On Monday it was Columbus and today the Stars and Pens found out they will be travelling somewhere to play hockey. They're six teams remaining including 3 Canadian cities and Gary Bettman has made it loud and clear he would prefer one of the hubs to reside in Canada.

It's been widely reported Vegas will be named one of the cities, and there's still some speculation brewing that Vegas may be the home of strictly the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final. With Vancouver and Toronto hosting the rest of the games.

We will know more this week, and as soon as we do, you will too!
