And yes, the market is untapped. If a potential (legitimate) owner shows up, you can bet the league is far more interested in a nine digit expansion fee than it is Katz' petty politics. The league will likely take part in his dog and pony show, since they like new rinks, but the only thing less likely than the NHL allowing such a move is Katz seriously contemplating relocation.

Considering it wouldn't require any divisional realignments it would make for a seamless move.
I think he's bluffing as well but if the government sticks their heels in I don't expect Katz to step down. Something will have to give eventually.
