IMHO this is a very good point made in another forum that deserves to be discussed:
Hmmm... How much cash does Teachers need? How much could they raise with MLSE? Is a sale of the Leafs really possible??
It certainly has me interested... wait, I can't seem to find that spare half billion...
Just to throw some gasoline on the fire, here is a partial list of potential buyers all of which is pure speculation... Ted Rogers, Jim Balsillie, the Thompson family, Mike Myers, Northern Dancer, Eugene Levy, Eugene Melnyk (don't laugh, he is on record as saying the only reason he bot ottawa is 'cause toronto wasn't for sale...)....
Thots?
Of more interest to anyone interested in intrigue should be what Ontario Teachers is going to do with their 57% of MLSE now that they are bidding 42 billion for BCE (which also owns a piece of MLSE). I say it is for sale. I do not Tanenbaum has enough money to take out Teachers, TD and Bell Globemedia but perhaps Tanenbaum and Ted Rogers can. And perhaps Mr. Balsillie enters the picture?
Who knows but Ontario Teachers will need lots of cash for the purchase of BCE and MLSE is not really a core holding for their portfolio. So I find any musings over hiring a hockey mentor rather amusing given some possible major ownership changes.
