bassmaster4 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Was just doing some random hockey research on the internet and came across this interesting article. http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/article/1088902--cox-gretzky-contacted-to-join-bid-for-leafs What are your guys opinions on this? Will it happen, I hope so. Bassmaster4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2fish85 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Actually if I not mistaken the teachers union has decided to keep there share which if I am correct makes them the main holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Actually if I not mistaken the teachers union has decided to keep there share which if I am correct makes them the main holders. You are mistaken...the teachers pension plan sold all their shares to Rogers and Bell a few weeks ago for $1.3 billion. Even the "Great One" doesn't have that kinda scratch...

Stoty Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 You are mistaken...the teachers pension plan sold all their shares to Rogers and Bell a few weeks ago for $1.3 billion. Correct! Now.... hopefully Bell/Rogers see how completely USELESS Schenn is, and trades him for a used puck bag and some stick tape or something! At least those things have a purpose and don't cause 10 give-a-ways per game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2fish85 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Oh for some reason I thought that they backed out on selling it lol. Some times my brains makes things up I guess. Your correct about Schenn as well in my eyes at least. I think once Dion came that was when his game went down hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hopefully we will see an improvement in the team but with big co's, they are like the Teachers pensions fund and will be interested in clipping their coupon every month (bottom line profits). I hope I'm wrong but I personally believe there has to be a face to the ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniceguy Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 The leafs have and will be for the foreseable future concerned with bottom life return on investment and its been shown in Toronto you dont have to have a winning or even a competative team to produce profits. Once an individual owner buys it and sees the attendence drop and Toronto loses interest in hockey maybe then, realy who sees that ever happening in To?
