If Quebec was given an expansion team that creates 30+ jobs for NHL players. Sure, they wouldn't likely be able to attract the marquee players of the game but I'm sure lots of players would love to play in the NHL in Quebec than in the AHL for another franchise. Plus Winnipeg has been able to sign a few average NHLers and lock-up a few of their young guys long-term without issue, despite being a "low desirable" place to play. A team back in Quebec would be a massive success.
