We have a date for the return of the Quebec Nordiques
The Coyotes' potential move from Arizona is a hot topic in the NHL, and it brings up the possibility of the return of the Quebec Nordiques.
We already know the relocation is set to happen in Salt Lake City, but many insiders are giving hope to Quebec fans.
David Ettedgui is among them, and he shared some important information on BPM Sports.
«There will be two new expansion teams in the National Hockey League: Atlanta and Houston. In an ideal world, it would be for the 2026-2027 season.» - David Ettedgui
Again, there's no mention of the Nordiques, so the wait will continue a bit longer.
«The good news, if there is any, is that David Ettedgui concludes his segment by saying he is one of those who hopes for the return of the Nordiques to Quebec. He claims there will be two more expansions by 2029-2030 to bring the total to 36 teams, and it will be between Quebec, Kansas City, and a city in Oregon.» - Marqueur
This means the NHL is expected to reach 36 teams in 2030, according to Ettedgui. After one relocation and four expansions, if the Nordiques don't return, we'll know the future of a team in the capital.
