Just because someone is interested means there's maybe a 10% chance it will actually go through. Much like the Phoenix situation, I'll wait for the official press release that the sale is complete for Atlanta before counting it out.

You can go back 31 years to the Flames situation. On Google, you can search the archived newspapers from that time period, and when the rumours first broke that a group of Calgary businessmen were interested in buying the Flames, there were 2 or 3 groups looking at buying the team to keep them in Atlanta, but as we all know, nothing ever came of those offers.
