You never know what to believe. I have seen these "internet rumours" come true several times now. It is quite possible the quebec group has talked to atlanta as they are clearly looking to bring a team back to QC.

Perhaps they need a rink first?

Like I said in the other thread, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
The NHL would only let this happen if they have absolute confidence in PHX/WPG happening next year. Afterall, the Thrashers were TNSE's first choice, and they only moved on to PHX at the request of the NHL (my own speculation).
Moving struggling teams to both Winnipeg and Quebec City would be huge wins for the NHL.

This story didn't seem to have any legs. Never heard a thing about it outside of here.

Moving struggling teams to both Winnipeg and Quebec City would be huge wins for the NHL. It would be! The NHL started its long downhill tumble in popularity (esp in the USA) after the Jets left! It would be cool to have them both back, or even Winnipeg at first, against a backdrop where both the NFL and NBA suffer from "lockouts" like the one that killed the 2004-05 NHL season! Wow the possibilities for the League! If they can't capitalize on such a big gaping hole in the Major League professional sports calendar, then the organization are the biggest bunch of idiots to ever run a business (or would rank among them)!
