Given Toronto's market this is a win/win/win for the STHs, The Leafs, the Public. STHs aren't stuck buying pointless games, the Leafs still sell the tickets and the general public gets through the door for once.
Not sure it would fly in every market (even Calgary/Edm/Vancouver) as pre-season games are typically pretty empty. But with Toronto's rabid fanbase it's a good move.
