from TSN,
A report in a Montreal newspaper that the Canadiens are for sale was quickly denied on Friday by owner George Gillett and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
According to La Presse, Jim Balsillie of Research in Motion told the newspaper that the 100-year-old club was for sale.
When asked by TSN to respond to the report, Balsillie’s lawyer Rich Rodier said, “absolutely not, it couldn’t be farther from the truth, there is nothing to it - zero.”

Balsillie would love a team close to RIM in Waterloo, and I’m sure the League would love someone with his passion and funds to be an owner (that would accept a franchise anywhere the League chooses, and leave it there).
I keep wondering when there might be, or be word of, discussions between the two groups to find a middle ground that satisfies both groups.
