Especially with Quebec close to taking a team and having the financial challenges to pay the expansion fee. Unless Quebec is dropping out or there is another team in the east that is a move target, this doesn't make much sense. Not saying it isn't possible, just that the league already has a lot of pieces moving to accommodate Las Vegas and expansion to change course with 16 days to an announcement.
