You're assuming that the owners in said losing market will move along with the team. An ownership group losing money will cut their losses and an ownership group that sees it being worth the investment to do so buys it on their own dime. Like Winnipeg.

Besides, maybe it's just me, but doesn't the arena have to exist already before the NHL OKs the move? Someone would have to build the arena before they get a team, and they buy/move someone else.

Yes. Like Winnipeg.
