Has a team that won the Cup ever relocated? The closest I can think of is the Islanders moving to Brooklyn and the original Ottawa Senators moving to St. Louis.

That isn't the only reason. St Louis is a terrible city. It ranks at the very bottom of the nation economically for a large city. It has some of the highest crime rates in the country, and the fans are not appreciative of the NFL product. This is very indicative of the southern culture any way who prefer college football. St Louis was not selling out games. And lastly the residents would not help him build a new stadium.
LA was a no brainer in every conceivable way. The Rams came from LA originally so it's kind of like them going back home. Denver does not have any of the issues I just brought up with St Louis. First and foremost, we have a thriving economy and thanks to Marijuana, are at the top of the country in relation to our size. We didn't give him any reason not to want to stay either, we helped build the stadium he wanted. Avs aren't going any where for a long long time.
I forgot to mention the Nuggets to which he owns and which share the Pepsi Center. It simply wouldn't make sense financially to move one and not the other, so they basically tether each other.

And St. Louis is about as southern as Edmonton.
Add that to the fact that you have the worst owner in sports threatening to move, of course people aren't going to show up!

Kroenke isn't even the worst owner in this town. Not by a long shot.
Dick Monfort.
Is there a worse owner in any sport in any city other than Monfort?
