No, that is probably the best way forward. The problem is, the current owner has the rights to any club in Edmonton, and would likely block any attempt at expansion. I don't know what would happen if someone were to launch a club in St. Albert as an example...
The agreement the league did to get Edmonton on board is terrible, but it was one out of necessity as without them there would not be a league. Now that the league have enough clubs without Edmonton, bye bye.
