Just too many American teams in the league. Need to hurry up and get Quebec City back!

Quebec City is pretty small at about 700,000 in population. About the size of Winnipeg, which does seem to have a good fanebase. NHL fans have been begging for years for Pheonix/Arizona to leave the league and move to Quebec. It never happens. When talk of NHL expansion comes around iusually Quebec is considered a top choice, but so are the US cities of Seattle, Kansas City, and even Las Vegas. The population of Canada is 35.16 million while the US population is 318.9 million. Without the US the league would be very small.

Maybe that's small by American standards, but by UK standards that's a pretty big city!

And yeah I've heard the rumours about relocation/expansion. Really hope that does turn in to something, would be pretty cool to see some new teams join the leauge

I am including the metro area in the size of the population not just the size of Quebec alone.  If you just count US city size alone, not including metro area, Quebec is a pretty big city. Anyways go Ducks.
