Pierre Karl Péladeau and Geoff Molson spent the evening together yesterday
We've just learned something interesting regarding Pierre Karl Péladeau and Geoff Molson, who are obviously the owners of the Alouettes and the Montreal Canadiens.
They were together last night, which coincidentally comes the day after Bill Daly (Gary Bettman's right-hand man) made a statement indicating that expansions are «on the way» in the NHL.
Pierre Karl Péladeau and Geoff Molson were together last night
Check out what Maxime Truman just reported in his latest article.
«Good sources have informed me that Geoff Molson was the guest of Pierre Karl Péladeau last night in the owner's box (Percival Molson Stadium). Louis-Philippe Neveu, general manager at TVA Sports, was also with them.»

It's great news to see that the owners of the Montreal Alouettes and the Montreal Canadiens seem to be getting along and have a good relationship.
For those who believed that Geoff Molson was putting obstacles in the way of the Quebec Nordiques' return, one would imagine that «PKP» wouldn't be so cordial with the Montreal Canadiens' owner if that were truly the case.
I'm really curious about what Molson and Péladeau could have been discussing in that box.
The Quebec Nordiques? Upcoming French-language broadcast rights? The weather? I would have really liked to be a fly on the wall to hear what was said last night, but at the risk of repeating myself, all of this is positive for us!
Moreover, Max Truman has other hypotheses.
«Could Geoff Molson be acting as an intermediary to bring Bell and Quebecor closer together? Are we about to see the NHL's French-language rights (or the Canadiens' regional games) shared between RDS AND TVA Sports?»

He believes that the heads of TVA Sports are close to the heads of the Montreal Canadiens, but he also believes that these discussions had nothing to do with the Quebec Nordiques.
Will this finally give Quebec a real chance now that Las Vegas, Seattle, and Salt Lake City have their teams? We certainly hope so, but some are already, unfortunately, talking about American expansions for Gary Bettman.
