If by the end of the 2009/10 season, the team loses at least $20 million or more in cash flow and does not average 14,000 per game in average attendance, the team can break it's lease with the city of Nashville by paying a $20 million breaking fee.<br />If the team is to be moved or sold, multiple cities will bid hard to attract an NHL team--Hamilton, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Houston, Oklahoma City, Seattle, Winnipeg and Portland among others.<br />These potential cities are required to offer exceptional arena deals for an NHL team and potentially superior corporate support and fan base than Nashville.<br />The NHL has already indicated that this is Nashville's last chance, and reports that Kansas City has already made a compelling offer.<br />Changes to the lease with the city that were deemed necessary by the ownership to keep the team viable were eventually passed on April 15th, 2008.
