There are no former pro-hockey playing owners other than Lemieux. Tpegs watched hockey growing up, and that's about the best case scenario: a passionate owner with money. I have faith they'll get the right people involved.

Ron Francis is a minority owner of the Carolina Hurricanes.

There are others out there, but yes, there are no former players that currently own a majority stake of an NHL team other than Lemieux.

if a gm is trying to shed salary


not a stretch for them to protect ullmark and leave lehner unprotected


also, don't be surprised if ror is dealt to vegas to save cap

- homiedclown


I could live with the first but ROR to vegas is not a good idea in any way, too many other players that need to go.

I was trying to politely make the point that pointing out Kim Pegula's former occupation has nothing to do with picking a capable GM. 90% of us here probably aren't working in the NHL and we all have opinions we think are valid. The gold-digger angle is crass.

money talks, as does opportunity...there are only 30 gm positions in the league and they don't change hands that often

from gleason:

I'm told Pegulas were looking for answers on how to proceed, and Murray didnt have many, or any. Bylsma was collateral damage swept w/GMTM

- Michael Pachla

This smacks of someone who knows hockey talking to the Pegs...a good sign.
