The NHL would never go for that so there is no point in even discussing it. The expansion fee is much higher than the relocation fee and if someone is willing to pay that why wouldn't the NHL take that extra ~$200 million? The Coyotes will never be a top earner in the league but if they continue their solid play, the new owners can probably turn it into a low-middle of the pack team in terms of revenue.
