Nashville May Keep Payroll At A Minimum

from Canada.com,

If the Nashville Predators are not sold by June 30, which seems unlikely now, sources say club owner Craig Leipold is prepared to vastly trim his player payroll next season, even if it means dismantling a Stanley Cup contender.
The so-called scorched earth tactic, reminiscent of baseball’s Florida Marlins, is designed to minimize financial losses next season, which will almost certainly approach US$10-million, and force the City of Nashville to buy more tickets if it wants to keep professional hockey in the Tennessee capital.

The Canadian reporting around this subject has been so skewed it’s downright laughable.  I think they just make stuff up as they go along…

For example:

The city has pledged to purchase tickets for the 2007-08 season in order to reach the 14,000 paid-attendance threshold, which would prevent the team from exercising an escape clause in its lease next year.

No such pledge has been made, and with a mayoral election coming up, most candidates steer well clear of pledging public funds to buy Predators tickets.
