You might have a few leaner years at the start, but that's the price you pay. What's more important? Building a legit contender or making sure attendance is always full? If this is the way ownership thinks we're doomed. Offset your leaner years with reduced cap spending if the bottom line is such a priority. Find new creative ways to get people in the door. I just don't get the point of being a billionaire and owning a hockey team if you're going to run it like you're scared to lose a few bucks. All big businesses lose money in the growth stage and they don't have a guaranteed billion dollar exit. And if you build it right you'll more than make up for your losses. And if you don't, at least you gave it a real shot and you're likely not in any worse a position than you would have been doing a half ass re-tool.
