That crossed my mind too. Though, the more I think about it, the more I think they'd have to pay the full expansion fee. It would just be too distasteful to the others that ponied up the 500 mill. The league could always say, 'you can have it for 500 mill if you want, if not we'll just contract it'. Especially if they already got some expansion.
Plus, we weren't that far off from it anyway. Winnipeg paid 170+ didn't they?
