I thought you might be interested in reading this. I'm pre-empting the NHL's announcement, scheduled for sometime next week.

Over the past five years, the Celtics had opportunities to acquire some of the game's best young superstars. Find out who they are in this slideshow and please tell me what you think.

Hi Mark, Thank you for reading and commenting on my article. Actually, I would never consider fixing up the Colisee. Quebec needs a new arena for the NHL and a stadium for the CFL. I wrote a whole article on this matter. What I discovered when I did what research I could, was that nothing was happening on these fronts. There does not seem to be any investors stepping forward to make a new arena or a stadium a reality.

But I disagree with you that Quebec would be a poor market. Most of their games in the NHL were sellouts and they would not have lasted as long as they did if they had not been getting support. Supposedly 80,000 fans have signed a petition asking for the Nordiques return. But the lack of a proper arena did them in at the end. If Quebec were to build a proper arena (18,000+ seats) they would become the leading city in Canada to get an expansion or relocated franchise, even ahead of Hamilton because there is no territorial issue. And if they market themselves shrewdly in their own city, in eastern Quebec, and in the Maritimes (maybe even in Maine) they should be pretty solvent.

I went to college with this guy; he's the best sports writer I know personally. His all-around knowledge of every sport is one to be reckoned with. Enjoy reading as I always do!

GO HABS. =)
