DR said:anyhow ... my point really is, if Mr Davidson feels he wants to make an investment in his team by paying for marque names and by his analysis determines that while he will lose a few million on his hockey team, but his overall property will increase in value, he should NOT be prohibited from making that decision.
round and round we go ... thats what a salary cap does. if he felt by paying Jagr, HOlik and Iginla 15million a game each it would raise the value of some other property he owns, then he should be able to do jsut that. at the same time, i dont want to hear him complain about how much his hockey team loses !
Eh, I thought your point was that he was "hiding" money in the arena by not claiming every event as "hockey revenue" whether it has anything to do with the team or not. I'm not sure what the above quotes have to do with that.
BTW, you should probably use a different team for an example of one that would consider paying those players that amount of money. Mr. Davidson wouldn't sign one of 'em, much less all three of 'em. We've dumped players at the end of the last two seasons to meet our payroll restrictions, including being sure we have enough $ left pre-anticipated cap to sign Marty St. Louis. Signing players to obscene amounts of money ain't happenin' down here anytime soon -- and, as long as PS&E owns the team, probably never.
