Former Detroit Red Wings and new Tampa Bay Lightning Gm Steve Yzerman said that the city of Quebec deserve a NHL hockey team.

"Things have changed since the Nordiques left,said Yzerman while in Toronto during the World Hockey Summit. Quebec is a good market that would be able to support an NHL team. The current economy favors small markets"

He also reminded that Quebec needs a new arena.

"I know,I was their in 2008 for the World Championship with Team Canada and the Colisée doesn't have the criteria for the current market. It's reality.
