I think Morgan Stanley is very disappointed in only 3 bids

I think its funny for all the talk about all these very rich men only 3 came in. People think Trump is kind of a chump but at least he was man enough to submit a bid.

Agree, but to be fair, I saw a statement from Golisano right away he was expecting an extension and was basically waiting (paraphrase)

Trump is a chump.

He's a media whore - he's only doing it to see his name in the papers.

Although I have to admit his plan is working.

Did you see the 30 for 30 on the USFL?

Nice little doc on the funny little league - until Trump gets a team. Then the film goes into full-on "Trump is Satan" mode.

Pretty funny to watch.

I think all they care about is that the floor is currently $1.2B, and their cut is going to buy a nice golf vacation for the team to Barbados.

It's probably because they know that none of the other 2 bidders can compete with Pegula so there's no bidding war.

But I doubt anyone else jumps into the fray knowing what we all do about Pegula. They should just get the show on the road and pick someone.

Either that or the fact that the lease makes the team a lot more difficult to relocate makes it less appealing.

Danny Flynn was an assistant to Nolan on the 06-07 Islanders. He was also coincidentally Nolan's successor in Moncton from 07 to 13, making the playoffs 5 years in a row and won a memorial cup.

Have to think Fasching, Compher and Reinhart would be the three hopefuls


Edit: I'd have Fasching and Reinhart as locks unless the sabres decide to keep Reinhart up during the WJ's.

Danny Flynn a longtime wingman for Nolan. Worked together in Soo back in 90s, assisted Nolan with NYI, were again paired in Moncton.

Try not to get too angry that he has a past connection with Nolan.
