Why is there so much speculation he’s going to sell the Lightning? I guess just an assumption since he sold his other Water Street holdings in addition to the divorce?
From who ?Why is there so much speculation he’s going to sell the Lightning? I guess just an assumption since he sold his other Water Street holdings in addition to the divorce?
They're an isolated entity that I would imagine stays isolated from proceedings. I haven't seen any speculation about him selling the lightning.I thought it was elaborated that the Lightning are not involved in the settlement?
Yeah, the man handled a multibillion hedge fund(s), I would assume his risk is very well understood and covered. I also never got the impression of him being a vindictive person in the slightest, he really is one of the nicest, friendliest people you'll meet. They both sound level headed about splitting.It depends on how hard in the paint Jeff Vinik wants to go with protecting his assets, but unless his people completely fumble the ball, there should be very little risk.
I believe the line of thinking is that a divorce would somehow financially cripple Jeff Vinik, enough for him to need to sell the team.They're an isolated entity that I would imagine stays isolated from proceedings. I haven't seen any speculation about him selling the lightning.

There was conversation in a couple threads, so I created this one. Jeff Vinik IS the Tampa Bay Lightning.From whom?
No he's still majority owner. He sold a minority share of the team to some investment group called Arctos Sports PartnersI thought I heard within the last few years that he did sell part of the team or was a minority owner now? Maybe I'm confused.
