It could just be how far removed I am from the situations but I think there is some element of market either as temporary or permanent housing with the Jets and Moose that could benefit from TNS having condos they could rent/sell as players come into the market. If the GM picks up the phone today and acquires you that doesn't leave a lot of time for you to find a place to call home tomorrow...

It could make sense to keep a unit for players that are recalled from the minors since there is a period of time that the team has to cover a rental for them (not sure if that would apply for the Jets anymore though since the Moose are in the same city).
Selling or renting out company owned units would be a pretty slippery slope in terms of the NHL CBA and cap circumvention. Nothing of value outside of the players salary can be give by the team or a team entity. Providing housing would certainly be a red flag.

Pretty sure Chipman lives out there. Kane was living in the condos on Academy opposite St. Mary's school.
