Bettman not closing the door on NHL's return to Quebec City, but nothing imminent

Before fans of the Nordiques fans get excited about the prospect of the franchise's return to Quebec City, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman had a little fun with reporters at the board of governors meeting this week.

Before fans of the Nordiques fans get excited about the prospect of the franchise's return to Quebec City, however, the NHL commissioner had a little fun with reporters at the board of governors meeting this week.
"I don't know the specifics of what they want to talk about," Bettman said of his January gathering with representatives of Quebec's government. "At 10,000 feet, we can all figure that out."
The potential rebirth of the Nordiques -- a franchise that pulled up stakes in 1995 and bolted the province to become the Colorado Avalanche -- will in all likelihood be the only agenda item those officials truly want to discuss.
