Daily direct flights to Calgary, a rabid fan base that would be looking to prove itself, and decent travel within the AHL.
The only downside is that if Quebec is on the shortlist for an NHL team, they might have to move again soon.

If I were to guess I'd wager the people in QC will stay by the Remparts until an NHL team arrives. I just can't see them throwing support behind a non-Habs AHL team in the interim.
Now I suppose if PKP/Quebecor wanted to setup similar to TNSE and show they can at least operate a successful AHL team in their fancy new arena and wanted to cover the costs of the team then I guess you'd have something.
