I dont disagreeThat's not really what was meant to be taken away from my post, I would disagree about how just because it's his money and technically his team, fans aren't allowed to be critical of how he runs it or his actions.
He decided to buy a hockey team. A hockey team is a very tribalistic business. It's so tribalisitic that it provided him a platform to have his life saved via a fan feeling so strong about their connection to the team that they stepped up and donated a liver to him.
He can't expect to have it both ways. Benefit from the tribalism of this business, but not have to faith the wrath of that tribalism when there is a perception that he is not financially committed enough to the team and is otherwise holding it hostage by refusing to sell it. Given the type of business the NHL is, he deserves whatever criticism comes as a result of those actions.
He's earned his criticism
But he is Eugene Melnyk
And he wants to run the show
When the truth comes out we'll learn it was not EK decision
