The league is probably mildly annoyed at the Oilers and Sabres. But they would be extremely distressed if one of them (or another bottom-feeder) relocated because the fans gave up.
The league wants parity. It's good for business. They do not want teams to relocate. They want to help bad teams by giving them the opportunity to become good teams. And they don't care that their business interests run contrary to the wishes of fans who don't like tanking.
