It would be great to have Quebec City back in the NHL. I have never been to the province of Quebec but my brother in law is a 3rd generation from Montreal. All his siblings etc remain there and he has said what people should realize out west here is that Quebec City and Montreal are as citizens the same with regards to rivalry as Calgary/Edmonton.
That very few new generation Habs fans would remain Habs fans in and around Quebec City if the Nords returned.
Quebec City would have a showing of instant support just like what we saw in Winnipeg.
Honestly they would probably have a mass Habs jersey burning ceremony. The Montreal/Quebec City hated rivalry would in an instant return.
Best guess if a team moved there it would be Florida. Cleaner transaction then the PHX mess.
