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?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.
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.
