Does the fate of the Islanders' best player rest on a future arena?

The answer is yes, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday, who's been tracking the chances of a new contract for John Tavares.


There will be other bidders for the Belmont site and, as I've said, I think another arena would represent a glut, competing with and cannibalizing events from the other area arenas. Which argues against government assistance, direct or indirect.

The process for the Barclays Center took a lot longer, but that involved eminent domain, lawsuits challenging both eminent domain and the environmental review, and encroachment on an existing community.
