Those Jets were costing the City of Winnipeg taxpayers over 20 million dollars a year at that point. It wasn't so much a theft as it was a relief.

I am not so sure. Even with the salary cap it's a lot of money. Winnipeg does not have the corporate base and business infrastructure that you need to feed an NHL team. They'd have to sell out every game and the ticket prices would be high. I really don't see that happening especially in the long term.
