Who cares about those advantages when there is a salary cap and we are usually spending to the cap so that means this city will get same tax dollars regardless if it's Colborne getting overpaid or if it's we sign Stamkos.
There are a bunch of other advantages not related to hockey that make it all worthwhile.
