It's comical that this is being allowed to happen but perhaps people in the know, know more than I do. I don't know if this actually going to happen and this is a tactic to get people bend to their demands or up the ante for something else.
I just don't see ownership bankrolling massive losses without cutting back on serious NHL player and associated expenses. I can't believe the players and their prospects would be even remotely interested in some of the amenities that will be featured here. The wives room, workout facilities, practice facilities, ticket requests etc. This will have more of a negative effect on the performance and winning ability of the team which will make them even more of a target for all things bad. I doubt that visiting teams would even be interested in this whole set up, I can't see how this would be NHL caliber at all.
Either way, they will figure it out one way or another
