this is an interesting story developing here.

David Fingold and his son Sam have looked at the books and are, as the Toronto Star reports "poised to make a bid to buy the struggling team".
Destination if all works out? kansas city. That is if the new rink does not get built in Pittsburgh.
apparently, Nashville, Atlanta and Phoenix are other teams that are entertaining buyout offers but - thanks to Crosby and some other young prospects -the penguins are the most delicious.
lemeiux owns them now. Asking price? 120-130 million.
I didn't know this - the penguins are partnered with acompany called Isle of capris Casinos Inc. they want to build a new slots casino and have also pledged to build the new arena (mellon Arena is 45 years old - the oldest in the NHL). But there are other competitors for the slots casino.
Last time Kansas City had an NHL franchise? the Scouts were there till 1976 when they moved to Colorado to become the Rockies.
kansas has a completed arena already.
