you're the one who compared the GTA to Chicago, not me

I said Toronto is the 4th biggest market in North America behind Mexico City, NYC and LA...the rest of you split hairs.

is someone moving?

did you just win an ipad box on ebay?

LOL, what does the size of the GTA matter? Nobody cares how big Toronto is or how much the Leafs spend. Toronto is still a mediocre city and the Leafs are one of the worst teams in the league. There's nothing about Toronto or the Leafs that draws free agents there. Look at how much they have to over pay guys to play there.

I think the original point was about endorsement earnings potential - the rest of what you wrote was just meant to hurt our feelings I think.

My point is where do you stop? I couldn't care less about what market is bigger give or take a couple hundred thousand people - do I need to provide stats that supports that it is likely that regardless the market size of Toronto/Chicago an NHL player is likely to attract more endorsement dollars in Toronto? It is a pretty easy conclusion to draw based on competition for endorsement dollars alone. No NFL and the Raptors don't have the cache of the Bulls, let alone two MLB teams, etc.

I'm pretty sure Kane and Toews do just fine with endorsements. Success does those type of things for you.

Poor Russel Wilson is stuck in Seattle, he probably won't make any endorsement money.

Good one.


Where do you call home?

What does that matter? We're talking about Toronto. You guys love to deflect any truth about "the centre of the universe." It's a big city but I wouldn't say it's particularly nice or anything. And the Leafs are a bad team. No reason I would want to play in toronto other than to be closer to that side show mayor. He is pretty funny.

Oh that will help sway Stamkos. Hey Stammer, we hit the jackpot with some d-man who's coming off a busted leg and another guy who most of us have never even heard of, come join them!
