Not sure how you think currency exposure would affect the arena decision itself (it wouldn't because it'd all be CAD).
Brings up an interesting point though. Do Cdn teams hedge their USD exposure for player payroll? Would make a ton of sense. But if that was the case, a weak Canadian dollar wouldn't even hurt them. And since that's a factor in the cap calculations, it makes me think that they might not hedge for whatever reason.

I didn't misinterpret it, that is exactly what I responded to.
