The same could've been said about South Florida until recently, past history means nothing when you have stability.

Low taxes, amazing weather, generally you can be yourself in public. I stand by that.
You don’t have stable ownership.
You don’t have a track record of success.
You play in a college arena (and a small one at that).
Voters rejected a new arena proposal.
No existing plans for a new arena.
Phoenix is a nice city that, broadly speaking, attracts retirees more than it attracts prime of their life athletes living a more lavish lifestyle.

To throw out the team as a possible top 5 destination is just preposterous given all of these things. Of course this can change, but so much has to change in this situation. Right now it is a bottom 3 destination and you’re arguing about whether it is preferable to Winnipeg.
