Elliot Friedman this morning on the Fan mentioned that this would place them somewhere around Nashville/Columbus in terms of revenue. I assume this would mean Winnipeg could be kind of a break even team, sometimes losses depending on the season. Certainly not the dire straits Phoenix and Atlanta regularly face.
