As per Steven Marcus of Newsday,
· 40mISLES: Source said Philadelphia-based hedge fund manager Andrew Barroway has ceased negotiations to buy team.
Well, that's interesting.
That could mean that either Charles Wang has received a better offer or he just really does not want to sell this team. This comes as the NHL released info that it had nothing to report, and that if there was to be a report of a sale it would have to come from the Isles themselves.
So, we look to Twitter:
T …@Riz2525 · 3m FOR SALE:#ISLES hockey club for the bargin price of 400 Mill.. There is 1 catch tho, it comes w/ a divided fan base that will drive u crazy
I believe she has it about right.
Michael Liebler …@mcliebler · 47s Barroway seemed like another cheap, Wang-type owner. Wouldn't be surprised if he backed out because he got outbid #Isles
Strong possibility there.
Eyesonisles …@eyesonislesFS · 25m Very interesting considering what was posted to isles mania last night and now this news on the #sale #isles
Because Message Boards RULE the Hockey world!
Barknado! …@Larrsny · 47s Don't worry guys! My unnamed source is still insistent that the deal will be announced right after the cup finals #isles
They just haven't told us what year.
