Believe it or not, the Seattle Kraken is an NHL team. It's the most recent team to join the NHL (maybe newer than the Vegas Golden Knights).

Yeah. Shows how little I pay attention.
Columbus
Vegas
Seattle
Who was the 4th team added in the last few years?
The 4th team wasn't an addition, but rather a relocation. The Atlanta Thrashers moved to Canada to become the 2nd iteration of the Winnipeg Jets. The original Winnipeg Jets had moved to Arizona to become the Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes.
How did they keep the conferences even. If you only add 3 teams isnt one getting more than the other?
There have been several occasions when NHL had lopsided conferences & divisions. Recent expansions have taken place 1/2 team(s) @ a time. Moves can also shake up conference/division alignments. NBA & MLB also suffered from this problem.
