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.
