$210M to Karmanos and $290M to the NHL owners leaves $10M for each team and leaves future expansion on the table for when the Canadian dollar makes sense for Quebec and Seattle is ready. Forbes values the Hurricanes at $225M and with the latest news that may be optimistic.
I'm not saying this will happen but it's a possibility that can make sense.
