The potential return of the Quebec Nordiques has been a hot topic for years. Unfortunately, it won't be happening next year, but there is new information.
The Arizona Coyotes will finally be relocated, but not to Quebec. Instead, they will move to Salt Lake City starting next season.
Several insiders strongly believe that there will be four new expansions by 2030. The first would be Houston and Atlanta, then the other two would include Quebec.
"Renaud Lavoie, a TVA Sports journalist and, by extension, an employee of Quebecor, mentioned that in such a scenario, Quebec would be virtually assured of having its team." - DLC
Quebecor will obviously be involved in the return of the Nordiques if it ever happens.

According to Frank Seravalli, the last expansions will be around 2030. Will we see the Nordiques within the next six years?
