The Marlies making a move here makes a lot of sense.
Despite many Canadiens fans in the city (I've come across lots of Bruins fans too) this is Leafs Country.
Depends what was meant by "new team" too... brand new, or relocated/"new to Hamilton"? And if it does turn out to be the Marlies, I think it'll be even more important that they're re-branded. Despite the local Leafs' fanbase keeping the old name would stick in the craw of many Hamilton hockey-viewers.
Hopefully we get basketball and women's hockey too, though it can't happen at the cost of eating into available concert nights.
