Yeah Baby....the Nordiques hopefully will be back in Quebec City!!!!!
The Sports Exchange - MSN Sports - 20 Jul 15
"Prospective ownership groups in Las Vegas and Quebec City submitted bids for NHL expansion teams by the deadline Monday, although no groups from Seattle made a bid.
Quebecor Inc., a media company, said it has submitted its "candidacy for the NHL expansion process in order to bring the Nordiques back to Quebec City." The Nordiques left in 1995 to become the Colorado Avalanche.
Las Vegas Hockey Vision, a group that includes the Maloof family, applied as "Black Knight Sports and Entertainment LLC," ESPN reported.
Ownership groups had to submit applications, along with the $10 million fee ($2 million non-refundable), by Monday.
None of the three groups that have discussed bringing the NHL to Seattle submitted a bid. Two groups previously had indicated they would not apply. The third, Connecticut-based businessman Ray Bartoszek, apparently balked at the expected $500 million price tag for a team on top of $500 million for a new arena, The Seattle Times reported.
The NHL has said expansion would not occur until 2017 at the earliest".

If and when the team is allowed in the NHL expansion, will they use new logos & uniforms (see below), but why not go with the old logo
& uniform?
However, "before the decision was made to move the Nordiques to Denver, Aubut had decided to change the entire look of the team in the event he was able to attract enough financing to play in Quebec for the 1995-96 season.
The Nordiques would have abandoned the blue, white, and red palette they had worn throughout their history in favour of a teal, black, and navy scheme.
The team would also have abandoned the "igloo holding a hockey stick" logo they had used for their entire existence in favour of a fierce looking Siberian husky, with "NORDIQUES" in gray block letters below it and the "I" in the team's name fashioned to look like an icicle. These designs were published in local papers before the team ultimately decided to move".
