It probably wouldn't matter anyways (as the league will never accept him as an owner) but I have to wonder, considering RIM's recent downfall, if Bailsillie even has the means to purchase an NHL team anymore? I found a Financial Post article on Google from Summer 2011 that stated his net worth had fallen from $2.7 billion in 2009 to $1.8 billion in March 2011 to then $800 million in June of 2011. Couldn't find any more recent estimates, but one has to think, considering the trend and RIM's continued struggles, that his net worth has fallen even further.
Is he even worth as much as a Jim Treliving at this point? I'd say it's debatable.
