Shareholders seem optimistic about Caesars' proposed restructuring plan, which cuts the amount owed to junior noteholders by more than 90 percent.But credit analysts note that debt market prices suggest the parent company and its affiliates that are not filing for bankruptcy may have to share some pain to satisfy junior noteholders."The fact there is equity value in Caesars, that equity value describes a really optimistic view of how this will play out," said Chris Snow, an analyst with CreditSights.Caesars' operating unit is expected to file for bankruptcy on Thursday in Chicago.
