I tend to believe this as well, simply beacause I can't believe the NHL would turn down a half billion in cash. And at that time, they had no way of knowing there would be a new potential owner in Houston with zero arena concerns.
NHL could be sitting pretty with both Houston and Seattle ready to go. They are not Winnipeg, QC or even KC. Houston in particualr is more NHL ready than several existing teams.
