Basically this. Owning an NHL team in a small Canadian market I'm sure isn't a barrel of laughs but money talks and our ownership pays up every year. They also don't meddle and generally let the GM do their job, besides big dollar stuff that every owner needs to get brought it on.
The one quibble I would have with them is that there does appear to be a pattern of not wanting to pay for high quality coaches, but that could also be a Treliving thing too. The Sutter brothers werent that cheap. I personally think we're lucky to have them, would people rather have Aquallini owning this team? Or Katz? Or Dolan? Or whatever plug owns the coyotes?
