Here comes another Bettman hand picked guy. Lets start calling him "Boots" right now.

Not sure this guy can raise enough capital in time to purchase the team. Good luck to him, but Mr. Blackberry is still the favorite to buy the team.

wow... another suitor.... theyre just coming out of the woodwork to throw money away on a doomed franchise..... this reeks of bettmans bullshite...

so if breslow already owns 3 percent isnt he already losing money????? and he wants to lose more.... sounds brilliant

Not with the relocation condition he isn't.

Re-Balsillie being a favourite...^

Agreed. Why buy a failing team?

Is it any wonder that in every picture T&R has posted of him lately, Gretzky is looking distressed?

Because it's cheaper than buying a winning team, because statistically teams in the basement can only go up (or sideways for a REAALLLLLY long time, but can't get much worse), because there's bound to be some sort of tax break in there somewhere, and because sooner or later that team will either move, implode, or suddenly put together a team that can make a deep Cup run and wake people up, and any of the 3 options lead to a return on investment, even if it's just in an ability to use it as a write-off. Or something.

But yeah, you can bet that Buttman cooked this little deal up somehow...ooops, look at that typo I just made...I should be more careful, shouldn't I?

The next bid must be 5 million dollars more than the previous to be legitimate. Unless you own ikea or have the name Oprah, Bill Gates or Jim Ballsilie good luck putting together 217 million dollars.

is it too late for Wayne to be a player/coach

I am looking for fellow investors to buy this team and move them to Puerto Rico. Any takers?
