If a wingnut can shoot up a movie theatre, admit to doing it and still get a court hearing I should too. People like that should be tied up and beaten to death by the victims.

Truth is there are other developers that would love to build there... problems are Wang has final say of the land until 2015. These developers will not spend their money on something that Wanger could just say no too. (like TOH did to him) Then there's the other part that these developers have said how they want an arena included but with Wangers Camp staying silent on the matter, doesn't help. (no team, no need for an arena) Wang has a chance to keep the team right where they are
- Killer' Carlson

Absolutely, but at what cost to him? There is no question that an arena can be built right there. The TOH hasn't prohibited that. The problem is, can Wang make money if an arena, and only an arena, is built there? I have yet to see one study or person come forth to say or show that CW can make money off the Isles just by getting them into a new arena.

I am no Wang apologist or sympathizer, but I understand his point on the arena issue. The guy has a right to make money off his investment. The more "developers" that get involved in the Hub redevelopment, the more people need to make money off the deal. How can CW make money off the team if another developer has to come in, demo the NVMC, build a new arena, then get paid? I don't blame CW for not signing off on another developer re-developing that site unless CW gets some assurances that CW is going to make money off the team as a result of the re-development.

The sad part is, Wang is the best owner this team has ever had.

the fact that you said who's adam means your looking at this trade with blue and orange glasses on....first of any news from this twitter feed is all crap but if this is the offer to the ducks...this is a real good one.
- NYI78


Who is Luke Adam? A 20 yr old with 4 pts in 19 games? Wow. He's the next sensation of the league. Watch out Sid.

The fact that they're starting off not satisfying the desired positional players puts them at a disadvantage right off the bat.

Stafford is a Top 4 WING, not center. 50 pts last year? Not bad. Probably not gonna see his numbers go up much from there.

So how is this/would this be a real good trade for Buffalo, compared to what Isles could offer? I fail to see your logic.

Not sure, but he was all for the referrendum that would have just been a new arena if I remember. I think being the owner of the Marriot, he needs something done at the site. I would imagine that the hotel would lose a ton of business if the arena was gone. I also think a Marriot overlooking a giant slab of unkempt cement wouldn't be great for business either.

As a tennant, with the cable deal they have, I'm sure he can find a way to make money.

I have not heard anything on the RFQ. Also have not heard anything on the Vish front. Not sure what is taking so long?

Going to try and clear up where all this started.

That god forsaken joke of an account @HockeyyInsiderr is a complete and total fraud. It's only purpose is to service the rabid hunger of people who want to think that there are people out there that "break rumors" for a living. I mean for the love of god the guy had to spell "hockey" and "insider" with two Y's and two R's. If you got an email from kkate.uptonn @ gmail.com saying she wanted to sleep with you, would you take it seriously?

I think they're still trying to figure out why the author of the article thought RFQ stood for "Request For Qualifications"

- Charlie21

Right, because he wasn't laying out any money to build the new arena or demo the old one under the referrendum. The referrendum also didn't involve another private entity who would have surely needed to receive scheduled payments out of the profits from the arena should they foot the bill to demo the old and build the new.
