If it happens...where would the Nordiques history reside? The NHL & Quebec or Colorado (Avalanche)
I'm just saying...if the history and all 'proprietary and/or intellectual property', belongs to the NHL and Quebec...why not bring back that 'classy' Nordiques look from their 79-95 (their last), season;

"If the NHL decides to add a 32nd team, players would want it to be located in Quebec City, Quebec.
USA TODAY Sports polled 31 high-profile players [from 28 different NHL teams] at the NHL/NHL Players' Association media tour and 21 (67.7%) chose Quebec as the venue the league should next embrace.
Seattle finished second in the survey with nine votes, and Houston totaled one vote.
Previously Quebec had been the home to the NHL's Quebec Nordiques (1979-95) before the franchise was sold and moved to Colorado. The NHL economic scheme is far different today [in those days...Quebec was a small market in the NHL], and it is presumed a new Quebec franchise would have a much easier time being a financial success.
The lure of Seattle is that it would be a natural fit in a Western Conference that currently only has 15 teams after the addition of the expansion Vegas Golden Knights, who are set to play their first season. The Eastern Conference has 16 teams.
