There's significant long-term risk in Winnipeg.

My ego would assume I would know how to make the buck - just like every other billionaire scmuck who tries this - and whether or not I was successful would be up to me.

Winnipeg is such a limiting opportunity. In fact, it not even really an opportunity. It's a charitable favour to the community.

I guess the question is, how could an "NHL Owner" make a "buck" in Phoenix?

Remember, Phoenix has had a really good team for the last several years. They made the playoffs and still lost ~ $37M

Not saying Winnipeg is the answer....
