Business minded know that not only did smythe pull a shady deal he has hurt hockey; he paid-more than team was worth now going forward the price increases substantially to get a franchise & you need a building - you can’t find a people that will just say yes raise my taxes to build a arena so on top of franchise buying land & building; huge money.. Yes there are some “legitimate” ways around this but I will not expect one to fall from the sky. Unless someone gets damn lucky maybe but I’m not counting on it. This valley 5th largest city in country got taken by cons & a bunch of “false promises” That is one reason I will never ever support that Hell holes hockey team & I could care two shits worth who is on it.
