Nashville Predators moving to Canada? NOPE! Sorry, Canucks (and KC!)...

Would the NHL actually consider contraction?

 

This just in ... the Preds buyer is not looking to make a profit.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The man heading up the local group buying the Nashville Predators said Thursday that he is not in the deal to make a profit.

David Freeman, chief executive officer of 36 Venture Capital LLC, heads up the group of local businessmen and one California venture capitalist that put down US$10 million Wednesday and signed a letter of intent to buy the Predators for $193 million, a deal they hope to close by the end of September.

Freeman said on 106.7 The Fan in Nashville that the group doesn't expect to lose money.

''But beyond that, we are not in it for a profit,'' he said. ''We don't want a profit. Whatever extra we make will go back in.''

 

Nobody would buy a hockey team because they think it's going to make money.

But a team that loses money is a great tax writeoff.

 

Tell that to the Ontario Teacher's Pension Fund.

 

In a perfect world they would

 

Typical Canadian BS

 

Of course they wouldn't consider contraction --as a matter of fact they appear to be seriously talkling about expansion in the United States for god's sakes.

The league is run by idiots.

 

Yes, of course, a watered-down product barely surviving in ridiculous markets is great for the game. Go Panthers!

 

Ohhhhh, how hip. How chic. The first "JFC" cultural reference. : :

 

Please tell Peter Karmanos this (Hi BYH!). The man is a billionaire, and runs his team like he was flat broke. Charged media for pregame meals when I was working home games four years ago.

 

Don't have HBO. What does it mean?

 

Please Mr. American man tell me why this is BS
You still didn't answer my last question about Nashville. If they have such good fans why didn't they support a 110 point team
