Not an exact science, but more grist for the mill.
When I look at this I see 48% avidity for both Montreal and QC. So adding a team in QC isn't likely to get the NHL any new fans. The people in QC are already consumers of the NHL product at the same rate as people in Montreal, and both cities are already lower than the rest of the country. So why go there, unless you're desperate?

Las Vegas has the potential to be a huge home run. Time will tell of course, but you don't make gains without taking risks.
