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.

I don't understand why people don't think local fans would get behind the team. I'm sure a lot of people didn't think L.A, Anaheim, San Jose, etc. etc. etc. would work either but it did. They are not building an arena out in the middle of nowhere like Phoenix. It will be in the heart of the city.
