Late response, but Winnipeg had some of its best economic years ever between its NHL teams - if anything it's receded somewhat since getting the Jets back.
Your argument puts the cart in front of the horse - a city is a good relocation candidate BECAUSE it has the local economic support already in place to warrant it. You don't put a team in a dive of a town and hope it grows into a pro-sports-capable city after the fact, your ordering of events make no sense.
