I believe they would have to pony up and buy the franchise from Katz for full market value. And he'd probably make them go through the courts to do it.
The days are long gone when Frank Calder could arbitrarily revoke one owner's franchise, sell it to a different owner, and quietly put the proceeds in his own pocket. (Yes, that actually happened.)
