Nhl Expansion Late 1990s Early 2000s may refer to:
The NHL franchise expansion period that included new teams joining the league around 1998–2000 (notably the Nashville Predators and Atlanta Thrashers).
A closely related interpretation focusing on the NHL’s expansion/realignment just after 1998, when franchises like the Nashville Predators and Florida Panthers were central to the expansion story.
A broader view that frames the expansion era around 1999–2001, encompassing additions associated with the Atlanta Thrashers and later new-franchise entries like the Minnesota Wild and Columbus Blue Jackets.
