Vegas has L.A. at 9-1 to win the cup next year = 10%, let's be generous and give them 7-1 = 12.5%. Col is listed at 18-1 = 5%, let's be pessimistic and give them 24-1 = 4%.
So pretend these are your options (Chi would be similar)
1) L.A. 3 years @ 2M + 12.5% chance/year at a cup ring.
2) Col 3 years @ 5.33M + 4% chance/year at a cup ring.
I'll take the extra 10M thanks, It's not like he is choosing the money over a guaranteed cup ring.

Extending the same logic, Edmonton/Vancouver has a 55:1 odd (lets be pessimistic and say 66:1) = 1.5% chance of winning. If Edmonton paid another 10M (so 20M) would it be worth it?
For reference, Tampa is listed as 23:1 (lets be pessimistic and say 25:1) = 4%, Columbas is 33:1 = 3%... for an extra $5M, would it be worth it?
