Don't agree. Build a new arena just to sell a team? I just don't see it....I take this to mean Chris Ilitch is going to sell the team, which is fine by me. There's been a total lack of leadership for a few years now. My guess is they will play up the rebuild angle while shedding what salary they can to make the franchise as attractive as possible. I don't expect this brain trust to draft well so unfortunately we're likely looking at a solid 15 years since our last title to potentially start being competitive again.
Hopefully Ilitch sells. There last thing we need is to let Holland dither for another two years and then task Ilitch with starting from scratch since, you know, he is the guy who has fully supported Holland the past five years and just gave him an extension and will apparently keep Blashill around as well.
He simply doesn't care. That kind of owner is deadly, hopefully he's actively shopping the franchise for a new owner.
I do agree though theres a huge lack of leadership and we would be better off if he sold it.
