The article says they've committed to staying in Pit if a new arena is built. They've been struggling to stay afloat forever, why isn't it time to move on?

Pretty funny that Mario and his gang of investors are selling the team now that they got an arena and Sidney so he can make a huge profit.

Thats probably the only way they can draw a real investment interest. The Cavalier owner did the same thing.

Mario was really only a stopgap owner anyway
he didnt want the team. They owed him a shitload of money in back salary and they were going bankrupt and would have folded
so he bought the franchise and grew it back up if you can call what they are right now up........now he can get his money back and hopefully have a real owner come in and turn this garbage around

right now they are a minor league team with a bunch of high 1st round draft picks waiting to be trained to be NHLers

Crosby F
Malkin F
Fluery G
Probable 1st rnd pick Erik Johnson D, USA (or i'll eat my hat)

and a half decent core of 2nd and 3rd liners
