Sounds like the mentality of a guy who lacks patience and doesn't care about his owner's money. In the case or TOR and NYR, this might be standard practice, maybe even actively endorsed by their filthy rich ownership.
Yeah, there would only be a couple teams that might factor this into the plan, but Toronto and the Rangers would top that list.
