Just wanted to express my hate of Garth.

A single league source says it's safe to assume this sale was "the other deal" mentioned in the Barroway lawsuit. Ballpark $548m. #Isles

I knew the team was getting sold and I knew it'd be soon. Two more years of him being a majority owner is not good bcs this is our next two years management for better or worse. Hopefully its for better.

Of course you did

Islanders: "So great news, we finally got a new owner …"

Everyone: "SHUT UP, THE LEAFS JUST HIRED AN ASSISTANT TO THE ASSISTANT STATS GUY!"

Congrats, hopefully things change from now on.

Islanders fans deserve better.

this might be a better deal for everyone involved and maybe that is why Wang pulled the trigger on this deal

Snow is officially on the clock. Which means Cappy's leash just got a little tighter. Wang is getting all his money back and then some in the next 2 years, I can't see them cheaping out on a new coach going forward once Cappy shat's the bed

I agree Vukota! Have to think Garth will pull out all the stops now that the pressure is really on.

why is this a doozy? this is same man that took Sunjay - Co-Owner of Isles at first and promoted him to CEO of Computer Associates, only to make him a fall guy and he went to prison.

So tell me how minority ownership would have any bearing on Wang can do. Do you understand what Minority ownership means? you technically can share in profits but have no say in decisions.

You think Wang wont hose these guys two years from now? what can say if he says, I don't want to Sell. or better yet. My new price to buy me out is 500MM.

The price is agreed upon right now..once the sale goes through you can't change the deal...

First a new hot Pre & post game host and now this!!!

Yes sir. I like the team now especially if they add a D-man before the year starts. Season can't start soon enough

I need to read more about the two new owners, I had fears barroway was only going to have enough cash to run the team at the floor. If anyone has any info about these two (net worth or other info) throw it up here so we can have a look.

I'm assuming wang is staying on for two more years to be able to deal with the transition from the old to the new building as he's the one that made that deal. I would expect the two buying the team to have input on the management positions and payroll, with wang holding the hammer. we may see more changes than we anticipate although those may not begin until next season

You post a lot of doozy's but this takes the cake. Do you go through the rest of your every day life waiting for the worst to happen?

He may find a dark side of a winning Mega Millions winning ticket.

"Ledecky was chairman of Lincoln Holdings from 1999-2001, which held interests in the Caps and the NBA's Washington Wizards. Malkin is chairman of UK-based Value Retail, a syndicator of high-end European retail outlets."

Malkin & his dad own the retail outlets and in 2011 they cleared 1.6 billion in sales, so I'm assuming the guys sleeps in beds made out of money Who know's what he is worth now

Of course you did
- Vukota

I think we all knew it'd be within the next couple years. It became a matter of who it was going to be sold too thats about it.

I'm more interested in who these guys will hire as President & GM in two years

Ding dong the witch is dead!!!!!

Best (frank)ing news since Volek won Game 7 21 years ago. Bar none.

I was hoping he would sell but honestly how could anybody be 100% sure with this facking lunatic running the show

I'd hope so. I hope people from around the league buy into wanting to work here. Thats the problem. Has been for a while. Maybe this means a push for a decent salaried d man to start the season. Thatd make me more of a believer.

Yeah youre right. It could've been the inevitable islander let down
