The current NHL leadership will only consent to moving one of the existing teams as an absolute last resort. Winnipeg only got the Thrashers when the situation in Atlanta became untenable and the Naranjeros de Hermosillo shirt needed a last-minute landing site. This is why the Centre Videotron was constructed in Quebec City: to have an NHL-ready arena if and when another team needs to relocate. The NHL insists that it is committed to keeping its current franchises where they are: this is true until it suddenly isn’t. There may come a point when a club like the Arizona Coyotes has no option but to relocate, and Quebec City could indeed wind up with a new version of the Nordiques.
