So make it an even 100M relocation fee, and you have +/- 350M to possibly relocate a team some time in the future, versus 500M to start in 2017-18.

Why are we talking about 3-5 years? This assumes there is a relocation available today or next year.
No one is going to commit to paying $350 million right now to relocate a team 3-5 years down the line. They will pay right when the team is going to relocate.
If Quebecor takes ownership of the team, it pretty much signals the Hurricanes are done in Carolina. See a nosedive in ticket revenue.
