How do they possibly rebrand a team and get set up in a brand new city between now and the start of next season? Will they just play as the Yotes for next year then reveal the actual SLC team for 2025-26?

How did the Thrashers get rebranded and set up in a brand new city in just a few months?

It's easier than it seems like you're thinking it will be.

Not that hard, they would have concepts already in place. Winnipeg/TNSE didn't know if the Jets were gonna be the Jets or the Moose or the Polar Bears or the Falcons when the sale went through.

There has been rumours for a few years now of Utah being ready for an NHL team. Definitely didn’t happen overnight.

QC had been ready since forever. They have an NHL caliber arena ready. It's not about Canada vs. The states for me, it's about overlooking a city having shown readiness for a decade with a history in the NHL.

Feel for Yotes fans.

Sucks bad enough right now to be a fan of a non-playoff team who are having their team's season ending next week.

But at least they'll be back next season. Yotes fans don't have that luxury. It's just gone.

They have the rare assurance that they will be getting a team back eventually if they can get a building though.

They had to get creative and come up with a new name. They thought about Falcons, Polar Bears, Ice Bears, Maroons, etc. Then they gave up and went with Jets.

Winnipeg is barely hanging on with a top team in the Western Conference. I doubt Quebec City can be financially viable.

They can be ready all they want but a colder city smaller than Winnipeg where nobody who isn't francophone is gonna want to play, where the canadian dollar is 70 cents, the economy is in shambles with no end in sight, is not a viable option long term. It's a beautiful city. It's not an NHL city.
