why wait? because THERE HAS been a decrease in revenue, and they WOULD be able to make MUCH MORE $$$ if they did consistently go deep in the playoffs.buckwheat1 said:why improve there makin money and teh building is SOLD OUT!!!!
Well.. yes and no. Going deep in the playoffs would mean large cash to be sure but there is a fear that if you reach the pinnacle (i.e. win the cup) there would be a drop off in buzz / fan interest ..ala your Toronto Blue Jays. Not saying that would happen for sure but I have heard this argument, most recently regarding the Chicago Cubs. Something about loveable losers...wim said:Doesn't make any sense. Of course they'd like to create a Stanley Cup contender. If money is their main concern, a Stanley Cup contending type of team would only reap greater financial rewards.
Good point. The red sox when they won their first world series, in what 100 years, was a big buzz surrounding them. Seemed like last year when they won wasn't the same hoopla it was like, oh they won again? But it's true if the leafs go deep in the playoffs every year, MLSE (the bastards!!) make more money.TechSeller said:Well.. yes and no.

There math is slightly off. I have moved 100 places in 9 years, and for this just finished hockey year I was told there was a 100% renewal rate so no movement whatsoever. I am around the 200 mark now. Using myself as an example, the poor guys at 4000 will need about 250 years to reach the front.buckwheat1 said:Todays star says there is a 20 year wait for season tickets with over 4000
