More NHL offseason Jay Bruce Jersey : | | | | In the not too distant past the NHL has seen new owners take over in Dallas, St. Louis, Phoenix and New Jersey, the last two coming just this summer. There could be another franchise joining the mix; the .Josh Kosman of the reports that the of being sold to a New York-area investor, a report that was of Sportsnet. South Florida radio host Andy Slater says the new owner will be former . So there's Robinson Cano Jersey a lot of smoke here.While Panthers beat writer George Richards of the Miami Herald said he's not hearing a deal is imminent, he didn't shoot down the reports either. Source with says no announcement regarding sale is imminent, doesn't mean things aren't in works re story today George Richards (@GeorgeRichards) The Panthers are currently owned by South Florida busine sman Cliff Viner, who purchased the franchise in 2009. The move was heralded locally as Viner was also a Panthers fan before buying the team but now just four years later, ownership is apparently being transferred.The South Florida franchise has had more than its share of struggles on the Darryl Strawberry Jersey ice and playing in an already fickle market for sports attendance, at the box office as well.

The rose-colored gla ses take would be that a new owner would continue to provide stability while stepping up the investment to help turn the franchise's forturnes around but at this point nobody knows (and given the Panthers' history, it wouldn't be something to expect). The Panthers are celebrating their 20th anniversary this season, one in which expectations are not high after they finished with the worst Mike Piazza Jersey record in the league last season.
