So, Balsillie's Not Persona Non Grata...???

((HT: TSN/Forbes.com))

Just when you thought he may not get another sniff of anything hockey ever again, word comes out that Research In Motion owner Jim Balsillie could get his hands on an NHL franchise if he stays clean of any more shenanigans...

Mike Ozanian's must-follow work leads us to yet another nugget of information tied to Gary Bettman's off-ice nemesis and on-ice bid-ness partner...

Turns out that Bettman, according to my source, has told Balsillie that if he behaves himself and doesn’t create any more spectacles or bad publicity for the league, he will eventually get a team.


Here's a discussion involving irony the HQ has included on purpose...
"The Agenda With Steve Paikin" talks about Phoenix, Balsillie, and Ontario...
((HT: TVO/AgendaStevePaikin))


But we all kinda knew that with the RIM logo on every segment like this one, that Bettman didn't think Balsillie's money was all bad...

Did he...???
