François Legault: 'We’re going to bring back the Nordiques'.

To hear that from the mouth of the Prime Minister is quite something.

On the other hand…

It’s often said that as long as Gary Bettman is NHL commissioner, we can forget about the scenario because he’s just not interested.

After all, Bettman was asked to comment on a new expansion at the NHL All-Star Weekend…And the commissioner talked about a few cities in the U.S., without ever mentioning Quebec City .

The problem is that the Quebec government is doing everything it can to bring a club back to the province, but it should be done privately.

Bettman wants to negotiate with someone with deep pockets… But that someone isn’t Pierre-Karl Péladeau, because the commissioner wants nothing to do with him.

The following clip from Vincent Cauchon, who appeared on the Stanley25 podcast in recent months, sums it up pretty well:

The Nordiques file will continue to be the talk of the town because people’s interest in Quebec City isn’t going away tomorrow morning.

That said… Right now, there doesn’t seem to be anything super positive in the file.

I’m going to repeat the third sentence of my text, but it’s a shame.
