I think in July they saw three scenarios:

1. Back to relatively normal in the fall
2. Human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria, no hockey season
3. Something in between, which would almost inevitably require further discussions, at least for logistics, if not bigger issues

Obviously they should have held the line and had a couple of years where escrow ranges were linked to revenue like they will be in '21-22, but we don't have to guess who opposed that concept

Simply living with the major losses from scenarios 2-3 was never part of the plan, and I'm sure both sides knew that in July.
