We have heard all of this before. The problem is as long as the Toronto Maple Leafs are in existence the chance of this city ever getting a team are slim to none.

Besides that we no longer have an arena that could be considered major league and the cost of updating what we do have would be so costly that the city would never go for it.

The only way we would ever get a team is to find someone with deep enough pockets to be able to give both the Leafs and the Sabre's indemnification amounting to hundreds of millions and another half billion or so to build a new arena. That's on top of the price of either purchasing a team or getting an expansion franchise.

Any potential owner is looking at spending a billion dollars to bring a team to this city.
