Odd to me that the league would issue a statement on a pre-expansion review, don't remember that ever happening.
Deep pockets make things like this happen and the other owners probably are listening if these guys are willing to offer them millions of dollars, still I would not have guessed SLC as a prime expansion market. Sure they have 600,000 more people than Calgary but not much of a hockey heritage and already have a professional sports team playing in the same season/time of year.
