Because it's a better team of course
On a more serious note, I have a lot of difficulty predicting what the BOG will do at any point. Lots of their decisions in the past are a little baffling, and they are not all strong transactional businessmen. They also have their own individual agendas, cliques within the group and regional concerns.
The BOG might, for example, think that a team going out of Alberta (and leaving one team behind) is a better than removing Arizona and leaving a large hole in the map. That makes little sense to me, and you could make a better argument to move Buffalo.
