Looking at the expansion draft rules, I might be inclined to go the expansion route. Vegas will probably end up with a better defense and better goaltending than the Canes currently have.
Plus, it sounds like they are guaranteed to draft no worse than 4th for the next 4 years (or whatever the details are). And no baggage.

If I was Vegas, I'd take the expansion route for those reasons. As for Quebec, the NHL won't give them a choice in the matter, it's either relocation or no team.
