CAN spend to the cap, which has nothing to do with profitability at that level. They might be taking lower returns short term to ice a competitive team in order to build following and desire for the new arena (spitballing) even if the revenues don't support it in the Dome.

Lets say they determine no arena will happen, they could then lower their spending to well below the cap to ice a team that they can afford long term within their budget.
