Renaud Lavoie Suggests Gary Bettman's Successor, Sparking New Hope for the Return of the Nordiques
A big piece of news dropped late last night in the National Hockey League and for fans of the potential return of the Quebec Nordiques.
As reported by The Athletic, we learned that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has started preparing for his departure.
He will therefore be replaced in a couple of years.
Following this news, we immediately wonder what the impacts of such a decision could be, especially regarding the possible return of the Quebec Nordiques.
Could Bettman's departure favor the return of the Nordiques?

We mentioned it earlier, but on BPM Sports, journalist Renaud Lavoie stated the following:
