That presentation reeked of minimal investment. Kind of the one you would make if you were bidding on a project you knew had very low chance and you didn't want to spend the money as it was likely throw away.
At first I didn't get why, but maybe this is it. They don't actually want to build there as their only Plan A. Maybe this was a shot across the bow, and the board will buckle, and a new proper proposal will be shown later this year.
Problem is if it was a rouse, it isn't working. I am pretty sure the board has their cowboy boots still up on the desk. After the Bettman visit they are even more in the drivers seat.
So if what I just wrote is not true at all, then it would be pretty telling on why they shouldn't get a dime from us until they get some real professionals running things.
