Yesterday you may have seen (and discussed in our daily bits thread) that Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment CEO Brett Yormark uncharacteristically — but surely strategically — admitted that their business plan in taking over the business of marketing the New York Islanders in Brooklyn has not worked.
Today we heard some exquisite answers out of Islanders owner John Ledecky — about focusing on Belmont, about not returning to the Coliseum, and about, heh, what Yormark said.
The background context here is the opt-out/renegotiation clauses that both the arena and the NHL team have for renegotiating now and opting out at the beginning of 2018.
