My point is it will be very difficult if the Coyotes move to a city that is interested in expansion for the existing owners to get the same kind of financial windfall. A buyer would have to pay something to existing owner of Coyotes plus another $500 million to league. Any you limit the appetite for future expansion cities if the belief is you can get your hands on an existing franchise.
I had thought there would be a dilutive effect on revenue by increasing teams but your point shows that is not necessarily the case.
