I agree in general but do the recent reports differentiate between dealing with the city or corporate landlords? I believe NB has a deal ( civic landlord )where they could sell less tickets then they did in Brampton and stay a bit above water. In other words a certain threshold is guaranteed. I have no idea about these arrangements here but it could be a factor in play or partially in play that could keep the losses at an acceptable level to Kerr. If you write a cheque for tickets ( I know, not many would ever do that anymore) it's payable to the City of Mississauga, not to the Steelheads, so there may be some kind of arrangement at hand. And who knows what Kerr's breaking point may be, what he can accept as losses over the years. Just spitballing, I think it's inevitable that the team does move but it won't be until Kerr sells it and who knows what conditions or circumstances makes him do so.
Good points, but the devil really comes down to the details of the lease, and what Kerr is willing to commit of his own wealth at the end of the day and the only ones who know are in Kerr's camp. Who knows what the next lease negations will bring as well, but it won't be public knowledge. Perhaps it indirectly ties in with JR having a open ended contract (ohl4life I believe was the source) as there could be a lot of moving parts behind the scenes.
Hardie could be on the trading block, or perhaps they are trying to drum up some interest in Urberti, or perhaps some of both.
