Darche is also quoted. Ledecky said these things from Los Angeles where BOG meetings took place. Ledecky will be at the failed Belmont experiment Friday. He discussed 2009 draft party long before he entered the NYI ownership radar.
New York avgeraged an announced attendance of 12,735 in Tavares rookie season which was likely in reality around 9,000 a game max, lower on weeknights.
Two more years our rent-a-team status will end. Horse racing will dominate area. We went there to get Dolan/Oakview their Nassau Coliseum for events. We should have gone Shea site but we must return to Barc/our NYC true home where money/fans are. No way these owners stay long now

#NYC #NYI #isles When Ledecky says the future is now you can bet this team is for sale in two years when Belmont becomes all racing again. All NHL does is lose money there and you can bet Ledecky heard it loud and clear at that BOG meeting why failed Belmont experiment lost ASG.
