maybe Winnipeg Jets should have had similar fundraisers during the same time period so that Winnipeg wouldn't have had to loose team in the first place.
Saskatchewan has more disposable income with average household income of $85,000, Manitoba is $75,000
..so then you are saying it doesn't matter how broad Saskatchewan's audience base is anyway
Most of NHL season isn't during Winter (Dec 1 to Feb 28)
true 800,000 live within 45min drive of where Jets play in Winnipeg, and 800,000 live within 2 hour drive of Saskatoon. The extra 75mins is rather nominal considering commute time is more than a hour each & every work day for average Canadian.
Quebec City's airport is same size as Saskatoon's
Quebec City's only year-round permanent air connection is to NYC, nothing non-stop even to a city like Boston. Saskatoon has year-round to Minni PLUS even more American connections during NHL season (Vegas, Phx)
I'm curious to know what extra corporate support Quebec city has more than province of Saskatchewan?

again, I don't think Sask is going to get or are even interested in an NHL team, especially with Bettman at the NHL helm.
Winnipeg will probably loose the Jets a second time before Sask ever tries to buy a team again.
