No, because Balsillie spent several years making himself look like the proverbial horse's rear end, and is reaping the reward of his actions. Namely, he's not likely to ever own an NHL team. I kind of wanted him to succeed, if only for the entertainment value of having a renegade owner on the Maple Leafs' doorstep, but his actions in the Coyotes thing was something the NHL was obligated to fight, as the consequences of not doing so would have far, far exceeded the Coyotes moving to Hamilton.
