Edwards' business models are typically absed on cash flow (not overall business vlaue). So year to year money in-money out is always a big deal to him. POs are the key to a proftable year versus a losing one quite often. That's probably incompatible with long term NHL team building. It's probably easier to do in a metor area of 9M versus 1.7. I bet the ticket sales for SJ over the last 4 years look pretty grim for a lot of owners.
