NYI for sale….For under 100mil
February 6th, 2009 by HBH | Filed under Eklunds Wall of Shame.The following has NYI fans mad as hell and again questioning Eklunds “sources”:
Also, I am checking into a rumor that the NY Islanders are indeed officially for sale. I am a huge fan of this organization and its fanbase and I truly don’t want to see this team leaving the area. In my time covering hockey I have always been amazed by the passion of Islanders fans. I would put them in the top 5 American Hockey fanbases for passion and knowledge.
I have heard the price for the Islanders may be under $100M. I have been hearing for a while that Charles Wang would not keep the team if he felt the Lighthouse project was not going to happen. In these times it is hard to get a project of that magnitude going although I do believe they have tried.
