If you think the Nhl will relocate/allocate a team to Québec because they gave the Kings $7M, you're delusional. There's not a million people in Québec and there are multiple big metro areas in the USA that could host a team (hello Houston). As long as bettman is commissioner, they will never have à team.
Also, Legault is not doing that to help bring a team. He's pandering to the hopes of Québec people. He's doing that because he's Falling in the polls in that area after backpedaling on digging a tunnel to the South shore and subsequently losing a partial élection in Québec city.
