Carolina announced about 8500 last night, and I would suspect there were at least a couple thousand less. They've had a bunch of games over the past two seasons that people speculate were less than 5000 actual people.
I truly believe those rumors that we'll see the Hurricanes moved to Quebec near or at the end of this season. It's really shaping up to be like the Thrashers to Winnipeg announcement.
The persistent rumors of Carolina owners meeting in Quebec and vice versa, Quebecor dropping out of the expansion race after originally being all in. (I know they spoke of the Canadian economy but they probably got wind of this much better deal, imo).
