Quebec will never get a team - US owners on the NHL board of governors will never approve Quebec, small potatoes for where the NHL wants to go.
Jacobs has already said many times Quebec just doesn’t have the corporate or disposable income potential to deserve a team
How long til French QC media starts making a thing about this…or have they already lol.
How do you know about the organizational dynamic across each and every NHL team?Don't kid yourself. The next GM will have the usual power every GM's get in the NHL.
Their growing the game has never worked. The south has always had bad attendances and bad corporate support. These franchises stay alive cause the NHL is basically a welfare league. And their TV contracts sucks. At the very least having a team in Quebec would help the well of Canadian players who is diminishing year by year. Kids do not play hockey anymore. Having a team in Quebec would create an enthusiasm in the whole Province. I believe it would help as far as hockey inscriptions.
it's becoming clearer to me that this was the only way around the silly language restriction which has plagued us lately. distribute the traditional powers of the GM to more than one person (like Gorton as VP whatever-it-is) while still eventually obtaining a French-speaking GM to satisfy those who care about that kind of thing. niceWould be interesting if they created a workaround that reshaped the traditional GM role...
Frankly I don't care what structure they use (or how the French media reacts), as long as they build pillars of excellence in every facet of the organization, and prioritizes class & dignity in their public & player relationships.
It’s not about team support or growing the game, it’s about access to large population markets for other business purposes, while continuing to grow franchise valuations.Jacobs is years behind. Quebec's development has been tremendous and the team would have more support than any current bottom 10 teams in terms of revenue.

I've been watching since 2009 and I'd say my favourite era so far was 2013-2015 with 2018-present being the darkest ageMan I'm so sorry for you. Many hardcore fans have completely lost interest since he came in, that's how bad it has been.
Sure the teams we're better and more competitive than during the Houle era, but Bergevin killed all the fun aspects of the game. I'm really hoping I can get excited to watch a game again.
Omg can't stop laughing at this. Great to see you back posting again man.Molson Bros. strike again.
It’ll all depends on responsibilities of the fake GM, if the intelligence of the diehard language zealots gets insulted this could become really ugly, which is why I think Darche is the ideal candidate for the role - it can be sold as slowly grooming over time.
For starters - as an outsider I'm kinda bummed Bergevin was fired (selecting Logan Mailloux seemed to kick things off) - I found him entertaining.Their growing the game has never worked.
