Whether or not it makes business sense isn't something I can comment on, but on a personal level, I would love to see them get a team.

Same thing the NBA is doing with Seattle too
it's always good for business when there's another option out there, its an empty thread to ask a city/county etc. for money when you have nowhere to go
When there's a constant threat of a city ready to take a team at the start of next season, NHL is going to extend this as long as they can
