    Default Richard Peddie on the Way Out? Is this a good thing?

    I don't know how credible this is, but assuming it's true and Richard Peddie is on the way out do you think this a good thing for MLSE? Is it good for TFC?

    The winds of change are blowing at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd., and Richard Peddie soon may be swept out the door.
    The change involving Peddie may not necessarily have anything to do with the impending hiring of Brian Burke as president and general manager of the Leafs -- maybe as soon as late this week -- but it's likely. And Peddie likely is on his way out at the end of the season.
    Peddie has been under fire for failed sporting decisions -- primarily the hiring of Rob Babcock and John Ferguson as inexpensive and inexperienced general managers for the Raptors and the Maple Leafs -- and has been put on notice with a changing and more aggressive board of directors. And while he has clung to the job on the basis of the financial strength of the company, there are those who look at failed television networks and other problems within MLSEL and figure the time is right for change.
    This won't happen quickly. Peddie has been a marvellous survivor, but time is running out.
