They had those last year and possibly the year before. Mini packs. But ya. I think we would expect this to happen going on 10 years after relocation.

The test will be to see if they can weather the storm. On ice product being a big factor.

They also get $12M+ a year in tax breaks, subsidies, casino revenues, from the city and province.

It will be difficult to re-enlist many of the fans who've abandoned their seats...but maybe they should've thought about that a little bit before 2019?
They definitely did not get a free arena and have spent 10's of millions in renovations over the years. Subsidies though, yes lots of them.
