Phil Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Has nothing to do with the players on the team. What I mean is that Tavares to the Isles probably dramatically boosted sales of jerseys, t-shirts, etc. alone, not to mention ticket sales and sponsorships. But I guess not knowing how this fiscal year was calculated, maybe that's not factoring in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess not knowing how this fiscal year was calculated, maybe that's not factoring in?It's the cable TV revenue gap that has closed. Toronto 10-15 years ago was getting double the NYR annually. Now, it's very close ($40 MM vs. $35 MM as I recall). NYC has a much larger population, more diverse economy, better able to keep jacking up luxury box costs. And I'm not sure that MSG has maximized cable revenue; the relationship between the NYR, MSG Network, and Dolan's other interests allows for lots of intra-company accounting rigamarole.
