Well I guess it could end up in court but as Daly says,

"I don't think it's a point of contention even with the Leafs," Daly said. "I can see a situation where by adding a franchise to a market, you can raise the tide for all boats. I don't think that because you put a franchise here, it necessarily makes the Leafs any less successful. And, in fact, it could create new revenue opportunities."

He could be blowing smoke up our ... but it could also mean that an understanding could be reached. As for the veto, I'd side with the League's position but a standoff would provide some good entertainment.
