But MGM would still pay the 8% tax whether they built the arena or not.

They will be able to participate in free agent signings this year, as well. The fact that Nevada has no state income tax should work in their favor in luring free agents to Vegas.

You do know that Sheldon Adelson pulled out of the deal and is no longer involved, right?

Season tickets to the Golden Knights were not sold to the casinos.

He lost four teeth from a deliberate high stick to the face from Evander Kane just two games ago. Where was the calls for a suspension for Kane?

What was questionable about Ristolainen’s check? Guentzel never had the puck.that’s the definition of interference.

Really, he wouldn’t come out of the dressing room to meet with his family and friends? Do you think that just maybe that had to do with him having four teeth knocked out by a high stick to the mouth from Kane in the closing minute of the game?
