Representatives of Jim Balsillie and Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger met Thursday to discuss a Copps Coliseum deal. Balsillie is hoping to buy the bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes and move the NHL team to Hamilton. Eisenberger says the city is only interested in a long-term agreement in exchange for exclusive hockey use of the arena. The arena needs upgrades, including private boxes, that would cost about $100 million — and it would be up to Balsillie to come up with the money. Balsillie had said he would be prepared to spend up to $160 million. Eisenberger says he expects to come up with a framework agreement within the next week or two to present to council.
