It's more than just the city. No one wants to be traded to the NYI. If you were living in a trendy place like Soho, you could get to Barclay's Center quicker than MSG. The franchise itself has a lot of appeal to hockey players.
They've only won one cup since the 1940s though. So it's hard to label them "competitive". The desirability of the team may work against them though. Having quality players constantly wanting to go there and fans always pouring in money may prevent a full scorched Earth rebuild.
