Should move the team to Quebec City. This team will have to compete with the Jazz in Utah. Gary Bettman just does not want teams in Canada

Why does that matter? Thats the case in like a dozen cities and it works just fine. Not to mention they don't have baseball or football to compete with like many others. This is actually a perfect situation for both the city and the team.

Bittman has put two teams in Canada during his tenure, and fought like hell to make sure Edmonton didn't move in the early 2000s like they could have.

There is no one in Quebec that wants to own the team. No one. You can't have a team if you don't have an owner.

Canada is literally falling apart as an economic engine in real time. It's going to be harder and harder to keep a team there, at all.

They have to stay somewhere out west to keep the conferences balanced. And Salt Lake City brings in way more new fans than Quebec City does.
