I think the Isle and the Pittsburgh Pirates could have a good discussion of who has the worst owners in pro sports....

Anyway.... If this new potential owner doesn't have deep pockets, you don't want him taking over your franchise. Sadly, we have a little experience in this department in Pittsburgh.

Also... I highly doubt that new owner will have any success in his suit. A judge should laugh him out of court if he contends a "verbal" agreement worth 420mil is viable.

That's all we know!

Does Wang have an estranged wife and a girlfriend that he can make slanderous remarks about Caucasians she hangs out with? (I think Dennis Potvin would be a good candidate to fill the role of Magic Johnson in this sequel)

It was an agreement that was acknowledged by both parties verbally and via a handshake in front of both of said parties' lawyers, I'm not dismissing the possibility of the courting finding in favor of NY ICE just yet.

That email from Art McCarthy seems like a win for Barroway.

This will have to play out in the Courts. I truly believe that a verbal agreement would not be enforcable. The Statute of Frauds likely applies in a case like this. If it didn't I could run to court and based on the testimony of 'eyewitnesses' sue the Jets for reneging on a verbal agreement to sell me the team for $10,000. there's a reason suits like this don't get to Court. its because the courts don't let you get to a jury without documentary evidence to substantiate claims like these.

There's a difference between a 'verbal agreeement' being admissible as evidence of a meeting of the minds and a 'verbal agreement' being viewed as a binding contract as a matter of law.

Besides, according to what i've read, there was a 70-page Purchase Agreement that was signed by both parties. That would be a writing that should provide the basis to get to a jury. If Barroway complied with all conditions precedent in that purchase agreement, he would have a strong case in breach of contract. if he didn't, Wang can argue that the terms of the purchase agreement weren't met and it became null and void. Lots of different possibilities here.

These deals are highly complicated involving extra clauses, contingencies, stipulations etc. No judge is going to enforce a verbal contract for 420mil dollars. It's not a deal until it's in writing and signatures are on the paper. I'd be shocked if a judge awards the guy 10 bucks let alone 10 mil.

There's also a difference between verbal agreement and oral contract. This situation involves an oral contract. Also, there is contract law which this definitely breaches. The way I was taught to interpret the statute of frauds, an NHL team does not fall under it. It is not a marriage, it is not a good, it is not land.

Dan- there is no situation involving the Islanders that should prohibit you feom enjoyjng rum based drinks. If anything, it should be encouraged/mandatory when dealing with this franchise. Party on, Garth!

If there's a 70 page Document that is signed by both parties about the oral contract. .. isn't Wang basically poop out of luck?

Stubhub?

That couldn't be further from the truth. The Wings are a big team, neither are the Habs, The Sabres, The Rangers. Even the Islanders aren't that big of a team. Martin is their biggest guy. But they are quicker than they are big.

The west is big, but the west find players with size and speed. That's what separates the two.

Nelson and Lee are pretty big. KO may not be tall but he is built like a truck. Isles aren't really small, their defenders just are/were
