I am. Hamilton will not recieve an NHL team for the long term forseable future, thanks in part to Baldsilly's bullying tacticts. And then there the Buffalo territory and MLSE issues as well.
Here is my argument. MTS Centre, IMO, is most definately upgrading the pressbox for the coming of the NHL. Why? Because this is the one thing that the NHL had told them needed upgrading for it to be an NHL Calibre arena. This would not be done just for the AHL Moose team. They are already at the top of their league and one of the highest (or the highest) profitable teams in the league. For TNSE to spend lots of money for little $$$ return from those press box upgrades does not make economical sense as enhancing media coverage for a lesser calibre hockey league (in comaprison the the NHL) will not likely lead to increased viewership and therefore increased profits. But you do it for the NHL, and whammo, your chances for getting a team are almost guarenteed (in TNSE's case anyways), which means once you get the team, your profits will significantly increase from AHL standards in comparison with the small amount of money you spent for the upgrades. NHL will likely mean more profit than AHL in the long term.
There. Happy now?
