The writing was on the wall a long time ago. I don't know why they didn't move to Winnipeg.
I don't know why the city of Phoenix isn't on the hook for assisting Glendale? The arena is "supposed" to bring in revenue through taxes brought in from ticket sales, retail sales, and lodging taxes.

I always thought it was the NHL that kept them there. Seems stupid to have hockey teams in super hot climates.

NHL trying to grow the game belong Canada and the regional areas where hockey is popular( MN, MICH, NE, Chicago, etc). California has been the most successful area where growth in the past 20 years due in large part of Gretzky's run with the Kings and recent cup wins by the Ducks in 07 and Kings last year.
