What exactly is the difference between how he operates the Knicks and Rangers then? Both teams have the same basic structure. He writes checks for both. You make it sound like he is a great NHL owner despite being a terrible NBA owner. No. He's a terrible owner but he just focuses his terribleness on the Knicks. Should he shift his gaze... I don't even want to think about it!
I can't say exactly what Dolan does with the Knicks--I don't follow basketball--but it seems like he is more actively involved with the day to day operation of the team. That has never been the case with the Rangers in all the years he has been the owner. I don't see him suddenly shifting course now. If he does, then sure, call him a bad owner. Until then, I'm very glad he's the owner, particularly when you consider some of the other owners out there. We're the most valuable franchise in the NHL and if there's a limit to how much Dolan will spend on the team, I'm not sure if we've seen it yet.
What exactly has Dolan done with the Rangers that would make you think he isn't a good owner?
