Ugh, all these article are terrible. First of all why in the F would a franchise owner trade an AHL franchise worth 7-8 million for an ECHL franchise worth 2.5.
None of these articles report on things like leases and franchise ownership. Stuff that is useful knowledge and almost all googleable.
Then again I've been following minor league hockey business as a hobby for 18 years now so maybe it just drives me a bit bonkers when something so uniformed is trotted out as click bait. It's like they've never even read Reno, Nevada city council development board meeting minutes to see whats going on with a land deal involved in arena development. The worst is when they just upload a 2 hour video file with no notes and you watch hours of discussion on parking space allotments before they get to the juicy bit about a potential special events center being constructed and whether they still plan on putting an ice plant in the thing. (I really hate Vancouver, Washington's city councils technical ability). Though it will always still be a joy to read a sheriff's report like in Tupelo, Mississippi where they confiscated the players clothes mid practice because the team was behind on rent.
