Maybe they are more worried about regular season attendance dropping below certain levels. That would make more sense IMO.

Fans in Calgary are pretty smart though -- they understand what a rebuild is, why it should be done, and it won't last forever.
Basically, I don't think attendance would drop that much, especially with the money saved on salaries (just past the cap floor).
I just assumed it was $$$ related as to why a proper rebuild (not forced like when Iggy was traded) can't be viable option.
