I wonder how big the fanbase actually is there? There are often empty seats at Mullett and the civic politicians seems to be an obstacle everywhere, and I assume they represent the majority of the voting public.
Not that it doesn't suck for the fans that are there, but if SLC develops a bigger fanbase, my happiness for them outweighs the sadness for the Arizona fans.
I recognize that the 20 years of uncertainty played a big role in that in Arizona. It's hard to invest yourself in a team when there is a constant circus going on behind the scene. The NHL should have ripped the band-aid off a long time ago. The damage done to that potential market is probably going to take a long time to repair.
