I sincerely hope this is the case and it's accurate. I'm not sure how quickly the process would be but I really truly hope this is real. - Isles_since_6
Hopefully this process has been going on for a while. I would be very surprised if this is not real.
Ratner and prokorov . There is also an out clause in the coliseum lease that ratner can break if he gets the rights to the coliseum site to bring them back to the island. - Isles316
This doesn't make sense to me. Do you mean an out clause in the Barklays lease?
I can't get too excited until its official. I've had my hear ripped out by this franchise so many times that's its just dangling holding on by a thread

Good idea not to get too excited Vukota. It's tough though because talk of a sale seems to keep coming up more and more.

Please guys no negative energy or no drinks from Potvin. - ses111
I'm away from my computer right now so I'll keep it simple. We get this rumor about once every two years. I wouldn't doubt that Wang may look to sell a stake in the team at some point down the line which could explain contacting a consultant firm but I think it's a leap of faith to assume he contacted this group specifically about the isles. Charles owns undeveloped land, hotels, businesses, real estate firms etc. This contact could be about any of those things.
I created a little monster but he already loves the Isles and I'm not sure if that's a good thing - Vukota
Well it's not a good thing now but hopefully soon it will be a great thing especially if Wang sells. Kasper should have told Wang to "go get your shine box"
I hope this is not the case. Isles need to forget any ideas of going back to the Island. - ses111
Ratner getting the go ahead to redevelop the land a week after the 25 yr lease has been signed, there is somethingn up there and it wouldn't surprise me if the Barclays cente is a temporary home while they rebuild the Coliseum.... Who knows, all speculation of course.

Maybe he will get an offer he can't refuse? It fits in with the shine box talk today.
