Honestly this is an important experiment for us. We're going to find out here in these next exciting years whether this can be a hockey town. Frankly, I was very heartened by what's transpired in Tampa, the way that city has embraced hockey.

You go through a lot of ways of rationalizing something like this. You go through all of the mathematical calculations. We did buy this team in hopes of having a rationalized business. We're not just going to throw money away, but this was an investment in the future of this team.

In the end, I think that's good for us. There's a buzz about the team. People are at least interested in how things are going to turn out.

What we talked to Don about was ... whether we were getting fair value in return. That was our focus.

There absolutely will never be a situation like this again.

I'm just glad to be up here on this stage with Mr. Knight.
