Was Columbus an expansion, or just moved Cleveland in the middle of the night?

Maybe I didn't know either. Started watching hockey in 1969 after moving to Minnesota the summer of 1968. And I'm confused. I'm looking at 1968 standings with Cleveland 2nd to St. Louis, but Wikipedia says 1976 was their first year and that they originated as the California Golden Seals in 1967. Oakland. Bad info. www.nhl.com/standings/1968/division

In baseball, a fair number of players have no-trade clauses. Either they negotiate them or they get it automatically by the five and ten rule (ten years in the league, five years with your current team = automatic no-trade status). So would these players be allowed to veto being picked in an expansion draft? I guess the last time MLB expanded was when they added Tampa Bay and Arizona. As far as I could tell, teams were allowed to protect any 15 players they wanted. I didn't see any mention of having to protect players with no-trade status. Newspapers led us to believe teams had to put no-trade clause players on the protected list in the Vegas expansion draft unless player agreed to waive in this circumstance.

Google says that in 1979 the OKC Thunder were 56-26.
A) That was actually the 1979-1980 season, not the 1978-1979 season. B) This pisses me off. F*ck the "OKC Thunder". It was the Seattle Supersonics who were 56-26 that year.

Seems unlikely that they will, given the current dynamics of the NBA.
It's worse than baseball. But at least the players have more control over it, rather than just certain teams.

As long as Bron doesn't join them, then the Warriors will keep them from winning any Championships in the foreseeable future.
