I've run companies for years and know how boards can strangle great innovation and winning companies by over-ruling the right moves in the interest of keeping control in the hands of specific shareholders. The Leafs are no different. They are a cash machine and the fund doesn't have to spend money and allow the GM to put the best team on the ice. I'm not a fan of Ferguson but he was doomed from the start. They haven't made a good trade in years (that hasn't resulted in an old guy coming back to the team and being benched with injuries) and until the Fund backs off the same will hold true. The only way to fix the team and provide for the results the fund wants is to allow all the fans access to ownership. Take the team public do a massive equity raise to acquire other sports assets (and dilute the fund) - setup and indepenant board that actually wants to win and understands hockey (and that would be appointed by shareholders, i.e the fans who buy shares) and let that board run loose building a profitable and successful team once and for all. What the heck, throw the raptors into that max as well. All these great 'older' GM's can sit on the board with some financially savvy people. Any new GM and Coach would love to work in that enviroment. Bonus the players and coaches with shares and avoid salary cap issues by giving the performance base options (that they have to buy) - if the Leafs win and make money those shares could be worth plenty more than any salary. Raise prices then (because they do very year anyway) and you won't get one objection from fans if the Leafs are winning. Ah..but that sounds like work - the reality is that it is done on Bay street every day and if the ownership wanted to make it work - they would.
