That's hilarious. They want to stop a team from coming to Hamilton, but when trying to sell the team they want the territorial fees added to the price.
Here's an idea, work with the NHL on getting a team for Hamilton and then collect your fee... or just STFU and sell it at the current price. Can't have it both ways.
