Bob Daly said that the NHL will most likely give Southern Ontario another team no matter what the Leafs have to say about it. The TSN panel thinks it might happen as early as 2015. I'm thinking along the lines of 2011/2012 because there is no way the NHL is going to sell the Coyotes to a owner or ownership group that's willing to keep the team in Phoenix and will most likely unload it to someone who wants to move it to Southern Ontario but I doubt it'll be Jim Balsillie but you never know. The biggest issue now for the NHL is to get the fans back for Phoenix but the fan base, if there was one, is basically gone and I doubt will ever return. You can't make money if you don't have a strong fan base.
