Hundreds of fans? Where are the other 19,000 people coming from lol? Don't get me wrong, it would be cool/hot to go to vegas and catch a flames game. Canadians are hockey fans, we would do stuff like this ( I would too ). Most American's wont though.
I would support the expansion though. When it fails the team will move to Quebec. What was the last expansion team placed in a gambling city? Atlanta Thrashers? Now the Winnipeg Jets. I was born and raise in Winnipeg and think the idea of a team there is terrible. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact they have a team in Winnipeg, they really cant support that team nor will quebec be able too.
Expansion should be to Seattle and the greater Toronto area. Could easily support two teams there.
