I found the mobility comment interesting as well.  Looking at Karlson as his prototype, I wonder if our stable is to his taste.  Could make for interesting horse trading.  
 Actually it makes more sense for the owners to help a devoted fan base because you get a return long after the help is gone.  Fla, Phx, the fan base are outliers.  Buf, Det, Boston it is a way of life.  There is more low hanging fruit where hockey is a part of life.  Hell la was struggling to sell the box seat packages for the outdoor game and they are two years removed from a parade.
