Good to see that True North is willing and able to play hard ball...
I really hope that True North is dropping what they are willing to pay for the Franchise over time .
The NHL's only other option is to throw more money down the toilet or open up the Hamilton market. The Hamilton market will generate a lot less than what Bettman is telling the owners. Not too many billionaire hockey fans out there and while Hamilton would likely be a viable market there is still a huge risk built in with the huge purchase price
