It's kinda crazy Houston doesn't have a team. It's the 4th largest city in the US, with a large population of relocated western Canadians due to the energy industry.
A team would do very well there.

Quebec deserves it but Houston will get it before them. The Nords fans will have to wait most likely for a relocation as they need teams for the western conference before adding more in east.

Besides just "waiting" and "hoping", Quebec hasn't really done anything to be "deserving". The economy isn't that great. It's not as desirable a city to live in as other cities in the league, which will make it hard to attract and retain talented players to stay competitive. Attendance will go down drastically if the team starts struggling for a few years. It would end up being the 2nd smallest market, only beating Winnipeg. Good luck finding anyone willing to drop the $1B+ to acquire a team too. I wouldn't be surprised if this required governmental subsidies for it to happen, and nobody will want their taxes into that.
There are far better options out there for relocation and expansion.

Logic dictates Houston, emotion dictates Quebec City. As a modern man who is in touch with his emotions, I say "bonjour le Quebec!" and "what the hell is a couche-tard?"
