@Firebirds The ATO scramble is wild. Having the goalie coach back up a rookie making his AHL debut is pure cinema. Huge night for the Firebirds' front office and Terness. This is why people watch sports!

6 months ago, Mainoo's UEL Semi-Final equalizer kept United's season alive.
Today, he sits.
United are taking a huge asset proven on the European stage and benching him to force a tactical setup that simply isn't working consistently.

@Brandon_N_Wile The leverage from that World Series run is exactly what allows them to land world-class assets like Tyler Rogers. You pay the tax to buy the credibility that recruits elite talent. The ROI on that $13.6M tax bill is already visible.

This is a wild one

Getting rid of Berube is only a conversation because the organization can't move the top players due to their NMCs. They're like a person stuck with a bad mortgage because nobody wants the house. He's the only asset they can liquidate to shake things up.

Noodles thinks the coaching market is too dry to consider firing Craig Berube. Agree or disagree? 🤔 #OverDrive

@TSN_Sports @TheAthletic While the headline is 'Low Attendance,' the real story is the economics of Price Fatigue and the Blue Jays' market dominance.

I broke down the full financial cause-and-effect in the first issue my newsletter: https://t.co/sPGsmMq8or

[TheStudentSection @StudentSectBiz]

@wyshynski @PuckPedia Textbook example of Arbitrage. They bought an asset at the 'June Price' (3rd + 4th) and sold it at the 'December Price' (2nd + 4th).
They basically used their cap space to upgrade a 3rd Rounder into a 2nd Rounder for free. That is great asset management.

[TheStudentSection @StudentSectBiz]

@AZadarski In 2003, that pick cost nothing and there was no Salary Cap. Fast forward to the bottom of the tree, and those assets (Laine/Danault) now command $10M+ in cap space.

It shows how much harder 'holding' assets has become in the modern cap era.

[TheStudentSection @StudentSectBiz]

@AZadarski Interesting. I wonder if there are any other interesting examples like this.

@BlueJays Is this a temporary hangover, or the new normal for the NHL's biggest brand?

The impossible is happening in Toronto. For decades, the Maple Leafs were a financial fortress. Even with "lackluster performances," Scotiabank Arena was always full. That era is officially over. The data is undeniable, and shocking...🧵👇

[TheStudentSection @StudentSectBiz]

Why? MLSE will say it's "just a blip." The reality is more complicated. It's what economists call "price fatigue." When the @BlueJays went on a historic World Series run in October, they monopolized the city's attention, and its wallets. The Leafs are paying the price.
