A 2nd NHL Team In Toronto? Yea Right!
Posted by kennym on
The Maple Leafs are not opposed to a second NHL team setting up shop in the Greater Toronto Area.
“If the league ever comes to us and says: `Look guys, it’s time,’ and makes the case, then we’ve got to listen,” Leaf general manager Brian Burke said. “You’ve got to make the case.
“It’s no different from when people have said: `We’d like another team in Winnipeg.’ So would we. Quebec City? Great, make the case. Show me that you have a building that can generate NHL economics. In this case here, show me the team works here without unduly harming the two existing teams (Toronto and Buffalo).’”
How do you ever find a way to show them that another team would be good for them?
Oh yea! MAKE them do a better job of delivering to their loyal fan base because another team offers a better product to go see.
