Fair enough.
I would imagine the profitability of the team was probably determined in the feasibility study, so at the very least the owners are confident that a team in Vegas would break-even at worst.
My position is that I believe that with some creativity the team would probably make money, or, at the very worst, lose less money than:
- Florida
- Tampa
- Phoenix
- Carolina
- Etc.

I just think there are better options that have long hockey histories. Take Portland for instance, they are currently tied with the city of Vancouver for Stanley Cup victories. They have over a century of experience supporting hockey. I would think that they should get a team before Vegas.
Now moving any of those 4 teams you listed to Vegas, that would make more sense to me but expand into markets like Portland, Seattle, Quebec City etc. first
