    I agree. Paying $400M for an established franchise in Hamilton is a joke.
    He could probably move them there and sell it for $450M the next day.

    Ballsillie must be overjoyed with glee over the fact that all he might have to do is spend an extra $100M to make his dreams come true. The man is worth $3BILLION. $100M is a drop in the bucket compared to his collective wealth.

      He's the 9th richest Canadian currently, beating out new Oiler owner Daryl Katz who's 15th and worth only a measily 2.37 billion.

      Now if the league could talk another 5-6 Canadian billionaires to buy ailing NHL teams we'd be set.

        LOL. Probably.
        But then again, Bettman might not like the sounds of The Moose Jaw Panthers.

          Apparently the Leafs want another 100M in "territorial rights". Anyone wanna bet that Balsillie will have no problems paying the transfer fee but contest this territorial BS?

            That's what I think will happen too. He'll pay a relocation fee but I believe he'll have an argument as to how much (if any) he'll have to pay in territorial rights to Buffalo and Toronto.

              Honestly, since this has always been about money, I don't blame the Leafs one bit...I don't know that I'd want a team moving into my backyard when my team sucks horribly.

              Most teams move to a city without a team, but now they want to move into Leafs territory.

              More interesting is how everyone was all "The Leafs won't care" but they actually do.

                Great point you brought up.

                I don't blame the Leafs at all. There is are open possibilities all over the place and he just has to make it in Hamilton right by the Leafs?

                  At the same point I'd much rather be in Hamilton compared to Winnipeg or somewhere in the middle of nowhere...Will be interesting to see who ends up winning.

                    I'm sure when the Yankees sucked in the early '60s they didn't want the Mets coming in.

                    The Leafs can and often do make money even if the product is horrible on the ice. Even at the height er, ah, nadir of the Ballard era the team was making money hand over fist so it's not like the Leafs will be impacted too much.

                          How's that a joke? Moyes and Balsillie tried to ram this thing through court as quickly as they could... the judge simply stopped them. Good.

                          I want to know who hell was going to pay the city of Glendale the $750 million penalty for breaking the lease at Jobbing.com Arena? The fact of the matter is they were simply trying to circumvent the lease by going to bankruptcy... that's the joke.

                          Oh, and Jerry (Reinsdorf), when you do buy the team, promptly fire Wayne and send him packing.

                            Yeah but in 2 years the Yotes will be in KC because Jerry (or whoever is) isn't going to stick to that 30 year lease.

                              Or Vegas.

                              Jerry isn't going to be the next idiot to lose $300 million owning that team. Whether it was this year or a few seasons from now the Coyotes will be out of Phoenix, no question. Unless the economy turns around tomorrow and grass roots hockey takes off in the Arizona area.
