Let's put it this way lets if in a bizzaro world that Canucks relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico as the "New Mexico Amigos" then the "New Mexico Amigos" win the cup a year later thanks to Playoff MVP Linden Vey then 15 years later the Vancouver gets a team back since the Calgary Flames are forced to relocate.

BCNeil Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 It doesn't make sense. Vegas seems to be the frontrunner to get the first team. It makes no sense, they pay way more for an expansion team, that will be awful for the first 5 years at least. Quebec gets a decent team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh.. no... I got that part... What I didn't get is, why such extrapolations. Such a scenario exists in the head of about 50 people in the world who have enough time to think about it that way. The other 995,000 fans that were starved for more than a decade, of a sport they basically put on the map, don't really care where the team comes from.

pouetance Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Couple of news again : 1) There are reports that Joël Bouchard (former NHLer, now coaching the Armada in the Q) is going to be part of the coaching staff. People have confirmed that the Armada is quietly looking for a new coach. 2) Quebecor and Quebec city have agreed this week to not divulge financial results anymore. Why now and not past fall at the grand opening? We know NHL don't like to disclose their numbers so again this could be a sign that NHL is coming to town. Again only rumors but they keep adding up. If it happens, I guess it will happen around April 15th. *Quebecor is holding a press conference tomorrow to announce a new entertainment group. On the press release, it is written it's not related to the Nordiques but who knows :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I don't know how many people remember this far back but for about two years, on this site, I've been stating my belief that Vegas was a done deal and QC would be excluded as an expansion team. It was always a relocation target because of the lack of need for marketing and growing the market. I had thought it would be Florida but with Broward County coming up with $86mil in tax breaks that killed that. Carolina is the logical choice now and the owner has been shedding shares for a couple of years now. I think this is a done deal too. Daly is just saying what he needs to.

Three different reporters have stated today that the hurricanes are going to move at the end of the season. Plus, many sources have confirmed that Karmanos (Carolina owner) was in town last week. And now here's the latest new : Quebecor has stated numerous times that the player room would not be painted until we got our team. Can't wait to see if it's true. And Carolina last game is against the Habs :-) I can't believe u guys don't have another team yet to be honest.

HC20.0 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 If this is true, then this is HUGE. I feel for the true fans of the Hurricanes, but if they hadn't won the cup, they probably would have moved already. That was the only year they ever turned profit. That being said, this is still very much a rumour. But if there is any shred of truth here, then this is massive for Quebec, as well as us Canadians. 8 Teams again... I can only dream.

Grape Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 If true, they had a good run in Raleigh. I remember rooting for them as a little boy when they won the cup, loved their jerseys for some reason lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
