On Monday, we brought you up to date on the state of the Maple Leafs attempt to move their ECHL affiliate to an expansion team in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
The Telegram is now reporting that a compromise deal between the group with the team and the group with the rights to the arena has been worked out. The Maple Leafs will still be involved, and will have a say over some wide-ranging aspects of hockey operations.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, with whom the newly-minted St. John’s team will have a partnership, will have a say in some matters, particularly in the naming of a coach and some player personnel.
