People keep stating this but there is no proof that it will increase NHL revenue margins any more than teams in Seattle, Portland, Phoenix uptick and Kansas City. If you (not you personally) say that Quebec will generate $100M in revenue per season that is marginally higher than Phoenix, who according to Forbes, generated $67M. The increase of $33M is not worth losing out on the potential market growth.
Second teams in Toronto/Montreal etc., can generate revenue but will also detract revenue from the current teams.
