I know I just joined but I am a hockey fanatic. Therefore I have asked Psychotic if I could own the Ducks as well although I might hold off as well. If I don’t buy the Ducks if I can I would be willing to buy another team if anyone with multiple teams ever wants to give one up which of course they don’t have to on my account. I am just putting my name up for consideration if anyone ever decides to sell.

If by chance I don’t get a second team by then I will definitely be putting my name in for ownership of the Seattle team which as Psychotic put it I can if they are in separate divisions which I believe they will be. The Blues are in the Central division and Seattle will be in the Pacific division.

I got to say I like our newest owner!

Given his limited ability to contribute and advanced age, we feel it's time to let Kesler pursue other opportunities.

Ryan Kesler, $1.5m (2018-2021) gets a 1yr BO for 2.9m (2018-2019)

What was Ron Francis's greatest accomplishment as an NHL GM again?

I think I read somewhere that he was behind drafting Sebastian Aho in 2015 35th overall.

Another writer said dealing Sekera to the Kings for a 2016 1st rounder (Julien Gauthier 21st overall) and Roland McKeown.

Then there's landing Teravainen and Bickell from the Hawks for a 2nd and 3rd.

At a very high-level I have to say Francis may know his talent when he sees it. But over the span of 4yrs as a GM nothing stands out (especially missing the playoffs every year he was in charge) and makes me think Seattle will start off the way Vegas did but then again, few people thought VGK would kick butt and reach the Stanley Cup finals in their inaugural season.

Well, it's a BIG deal around these parts when an owner re-ups and picks up his 3rd FNHL franchise.
GODZILLA and BLKHWKFN each own three teams and we are graetful for their commitment to Franchise NHL!

Now let's see one of your 3 teams try to win our money.

Congrats Godzilla!
