Come up with something creative. When Colorado got an NHL team back(the Avalanche) they got a new name, they didn't resurrect the name "Rockies", because i'm sure the Devils still hold the rights to that.

I thought Colorado decided on the name Avalanche because Colorado's MLB team is also the Rockies. I think what should happen when a team leaves a city is for them to sell their name back to the league (unless they want to retain the name in the new city). That way, if a team ever comes back to said city, they'd have a choice to recycle the name or choose something new.
