That hasn't been speculated on, but there is a master plan being worked on, and likely would take years before that is complete. Meanwhile, the extension of Penn South is expected to be operational in 2028, that much we know.

Not sure if you're still arguing against the image being of penn, but you're right these are understood parts of the redevelopment scheme. None of those things preclude or get in the way of what we see in the render. (Ideally we get both)
Further, to quote your report: "It is ESD's understanding that the removal of the Hulu Theater is
one of a number of potential strategies for improving Penn Station that are being considered..."
If the Hulu theater doesn't move then the mid block expansion shown would be all the more important.
And the theater would not be relocated, the state would be buying the theater and removing it. Surely the Dolan's may hold it hostage in order to guarantee a perpetual tax exempt status for the garden.
