The Blast leaving was more Ed Hale having a falling out with the City and ownership of the arena. They did play there for almost 40 years prior to the move.

The NHL Board of Governors actually came to Baltimore prior to expanding with 6 teams in the 60s. Even then, the sightlines were so poor they refused to put a team here. That team ended up going to St. Louis to become the Blues (which ironically enough is the NHL team I avidly support).
