So you think that spending equates to passion? There are few organisations that have spent more on their hockey team over the years than MLSE....in the pre-cap era they were one of the biggest spenders annually (right there with the Rangers) and one of the problems that they have had since the cap came in is that they have had too many players who were earning big dollars and not letting them spend/recuit further depth/quality......so how much more could they spend?
As for they would never spend on the facility? What do you think they are doing right now? Between the new scoreboard and the new atrium, entrance/exits to York and Union station they are spending, literally, 10s of millions of dollars improving a 10 year old facility.....what is your definition of "never".
Yes, is the exact opposite of MLSE....instead of building his own arena entirely with his own cash and then upgrading it 10 years later with, again, his own cash....he dangles a team in front of Hamilton and says "only if you spend $120 million of your money on your arena".
mmmm precisely not the kind of owner I want....Hamilton can have him!!!!
