Frankly everyone can comment on how profitable Winnipeg will or can be... but at the end of the day it really doesnt matter. There is a buyer in Winnipeg who is willing to use his own money to try this out.

Contrast this against a guy who is having a city buy the team using public funds and then gift it to him.

If I was a local fan of the Coyotes I would feel a bit guilty pushing for this type of scenario.
