Ah, so that's it: It's all about Balsillie's lawyer

And to think we have been led to believe all along that it's Captain Canada, Jim Balsillie, who wants an NHL team.

Well, according to an article in the Saturday, June 6 Globe and Mail, it's lawyer Richard Rodier, the puppet master, pulling the strings.

You be the judge, though judging by this story, he's been plotting this for years; he just hasn't been able to find the right sugar daddy.

Vee-rry-y interesting. And not so surprising. As the article speculates, what's in it for him?
