Rêve de tuyau

The NHL is a partnership of franchises each worth close to at least 1B if not more, where most teams have hit rockbottom at some point. The great majority of them will laugh and scoff at the very proposition.

Even the owners of the MLS franchises laugh at the idea of relegation. Too much easy money for owners of American sports teams to ever entertain the idea of pro/rel

Completely different economic landscape now comparet to pre-covid when Las Vegas and Seattle joined. Cash was free, interest rates were super low, no inflation, people were generally richer.
Investing in a hockey team in Atlanta might not be as intereting as it might have been 7-8 years ago.

The new owner did in one year what crazy Geno Melnyk never could do. You have to hand it to Andlauer. As an Ottawa area resident, I'm real happy about the development finaly happening. Seems like having an entertaiment district really is the new craze for team owners!
