Here's an even better question, how does this stop the Preds from losing money in Nashville?
Because they weren't losing a whole lot more than most teams(Even the Sabres, for example,) because up until he sold the team, Leipold would include his income from Powers Mgmt, the OTHER holding he had which ran the arena, parking, etc and was actually fairly profitable. It wasn't until AFTER the sale(something many Preds fans have noticed and are frustrated by) that he started bemoaning the losses of the TEAM, because it was a well-known fact that the income of PM softened the blow substantially. The team itself, in his words, was losing "12 million dollars a year," when in truth...when his income from PM was included, he was losing at most about 3-4 million, which in the NHL's sad reality, isn't that far outside the norm.
Not to mention, as has often been pointed out, it's not like the Predators attendance\corporate support was EVER declining, in the past 4 years. It's steadily increased, and this year will see the team get naming rights payments to the tune of nearly 5 million dollars...something that wasn't there the past two seasons. Things were on the upswing when all of this happened, no matter how Leipold pandered for sympathy from the fans when he commented on the sale.
