He's not even saying "I don't
intend to move the team." But the very fact that he's hooked up with someone who already owns a team in Toronto makes his sincerity problematic.
What will most likely happen is that the team will politely sit out their lease (it ends in 2022) while refusing to invest in top talent, demand that the city give them unaffordable tax breaks (if not a new stadium), then cry all the way out of town.
Jon is "only" a multi-millionaire; a minnow in a shark tank full of old-money veteran multi-billionaires who are just using his fame and fortune to get what they want -- a one-way ticket to Toronto. He's playing
way out of his league, if you'll pardon the expression.
