Is SLC really going to function as a similar destination?
The league washed its hands of arguably its worst owner since the lockout. That's unequivocally positive. But I still have a hard time seeing this exploding like the most recent two expansion teams did. Maybe it will, who knows.

It doesn't need to be Vegas or Seattle though, which are still much bigger metro populations.
Can it be Columbus, or Carolina like is the question...and I think it can.
