Dallas Stars on the verge of being sold?

[dash]

So writes Ken Campbell of the Hockey News - Bill Gallacher (Calgary oil billionaire) heads a group of investors, but Mark Cuban may also still enter the fray.

I would like to see Cuban as owner just for the Bettman soundbites.

good. now they can enter into the Bieksa bidding war.
also nice to see a CDN step up to the ownership plate.

I like Dallas better when they are on a budget.

 

[beantownmaniac]

cuban. haha.

I think Cuban owning the team would be a trip.

I like Dallas better when they are on a budget.

and when Brett Hull is making roster decisions
(forking over $1m to Lukowich is a pretty odd budget move, too)

the potential purchase price is interesting

225 mill for the stars franchise

450 mill was paid for the piece of shit Golden State warrior franchise in the NBA ... theyve made the playoffs fewer times than the Memphis/Vancouver Grizz in the past 15 years (dont know if the arena was involved in this deal)

If I won the powerball I would buy the Sabres. And I would win a cup within 3 years of owning the place. I would spend to the limit and find creative ways around it while encouraging my youth players. Even if you don't make any money those 3 years, the ensuing fan and media Frenzy that will come when Buffalo wins it's first major title in the city's history will result in an ungodly amount of income through merchandising and future ticket sales. Just my 2 cents.

or you could just ask Jim Carrey to do it

Looks like this report may be a combination of inaccurate and hasty...Sale price of $225 million is too low. Stay tuned.
