Speculation: When Does Bruno Get The Boot?

[ShagDaddy]

I don't think they are going to care about what happens with Tomasino, Fabbro, Parssinen, etc like we do, no.

I imagine they have some concern for bottom line $$$, however. Trotz's $100Mish payroll outlay for this season and some of the terms for future seasons must have required at least some level of ownership rubber-stamping? And then that authorization may attract additional attention if we start to see empty seats not long afterwards. It would probably attract similar attention if a head coach who we might owe as much as $10M to over the next 3 or 4 years was fired, and we were still on the hook for that money. But that's all at the pure $$$/business level.

Outside of the one year the owner was talking about selling/relocating the team, has ownership shown any signs of involvement in the hockey operations since the team was formed?
Haslam takes over 1 July and it may change then but currently, they’re all just content with bragging rights at their cocktail parties about being part owner of an NHL franchise.

I think you greatly overestimate the current ownership group’s actual involvement or concern for the decision making that is taking place in this organization.

I think it greatly overestimates most ownership groups' actual involvement. There are a few Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones types, but far more that are only concerned with whether the black line goes up or not.

I'm not all that optimistic on Haslam just because he's stupid rich and his brother is very hands-on with one of the most mediocre organizations in sports.
