I hated the Nordiques with a passion, right after the Bruins, while growing up.
Thus, I'll be glad if they come back as I'd like to have a team to root against. For me, the Leafs don't really do it. I know Leaf fans hate us, but I never thought of them as competition... not on the level of the Nordiques and the Bruins.
From a quality standpoint, this forces both teams to work harder at being not just fan friendly but to put together a better product. I think this would be very good, but no, I will not root for those guys.
