Mod note: Moved a bunch of posts from Atlanta thread as it has little to do **directly** with their lawsuit, and is more general.
and today on TheFan590 it was announced that Jim Balsillie's lead lawyer Richard Rodier has just been hired by ......(drum roll please)...............

How do you lament people bashing US markets in favour of relocation and in the same breath support a guy like Basillie? He's the absolute embodiment of what you're condemning. He walked in, decided the way the NHL is currently set up wasn't good enough for him, and attempted to force change at the expense of one of these teams you're defending. He's 'passionate'? Well so what, all the fans who want to see a team moved to Winnipeg and QC are just as passionate about hockeys as he is. The only thing that happens to set him apart is a larger paycheck.
It seriously boggles my mind that people still deify the guy. People in Hamilton who have wanted a team should be running him out of town for what he did, he killed any hope whatsoever of a team playing in Copps.
