@aint_data_Mitch@EthelSluggs@idiotboy1999 Your only justification for why it doesn’t make sense is that it’s close when most ECHL teams aren’t close and it works fine. I’ve outlined a number of reasons why doing what they did makes sense.
@aint_data_Mitch@EthelSluggs@idiotboy1999 Two businesses running on different HR systems, different payroll, different insurance, different suppliers, different finance and accounting systems, it creates a ton of headaches. Consolidating that makes things operationally easier and more cost effective.
@aint_data_Mitch@EthelSluggs@idiotboy1999 Lol, you ignored all the reasons it’s actually a good business decision including operational efficiency with shared ownership, ticket sales and winning.
@aint_data_Mitch@EthelSluggs@idiotboy1999 What logistics are you concerned about? Why is proximity important to you and the team? What will be the negative business implications? This distance is normal across the NHL/ECHL network. Also, are you suggesting there are no Pittsburghers in South Florida?
@aint_data_Mitch@EthelSluggs@idiotboy1999 It’s not abnormal for them to be far away and Florida is a growing hockey market. Not sure I’d describe that as a piss poor business decision. Running a team in a run down rust belt town is probably a worse business decision.
@EthelSluggs@idiotboy1999 Your whole logic is flawed. You accuse them of a money grab when they made a simple and obvious business decision. Those aren’t the same thing. If you said, I know why they did it but I’m upset about it, that’s different but that’s not what you said.
@EthelSluggs@idiotboy1999 I mean, with the Nailers situation, the Hofffmans literally own another farm team. I understand the history and all but why wouldn’t they make that change?
