Montreal Canadiens: Geoff Molson had an important meeting, and we have the details
Without a doubt, Geoff Molson is a crucial figure in the Canadiens' rebuild, being the owner and the first to openly use the term "rebuild" in front of the media.
Indeed, the word "rebuild" had never been uttered in the franchise's over 100-year history, making this a significant moment.
Recently, there's been talk about the return of the Quebec Nordiques, with Pierre-Karl Péladeau being the first name that comes to mind.
The President of Quebecor is seen as a potential owner of the next franchise if it were to return. He is currently the owner of the Montreal Alouettes, and it's worth noting that the team has been doing well since his involvement.
According to information from Maxime Truman, Geoff Molson and Pierre-Karl Péladeau spent the evening together in a suite during the last Alouettes game.

According to Gary Bettman, Quebec will be taken seriously when a solid expansion plan involving private investors is presented.
The NHL commissioner is clear that he does not want the government involved in ownership under his leadership.
Were the two men meeting to discuss business related to bringing back the Nordiques? Was it about broadcasting rights in French? Maxime Truman seems to think so.

Having an ally like Geoff Molson when trying to approach Bell is certainly significant, but I still believe that the return of the Nordiques is more likely.
There will be expansions in the NHL, and the Nordiques have one last chance to seize the opportunity. Seeing two businessmen meet for an evening right after this announcement is certainly no coincidence.
