TORONTO EXEC CALLS LEAFS' BLUFF ON EXHIBITION PLACE

1.29.1998

          Toronto councillor Dennis Fotinos said that he and "a
     growing number of his colleagues believe" the Maple Leafs
     "do not intend to go through with their plans to build an
     arena at Exhibition Place," according to David Shoalts of
     the Toronto GLOBE & MAIL.  Fotinos called the site "a
     bargaining tool" for the Leafs to become partners with the
     Raptors at Air Canada Centre.  Leafs VP Tom Anselmi, who
     heads the arena project: "This is the site we want to build
     on."  Due-diligence ends February 28 (GLOBE & MAIL, 1/29).
