The value of the Penguins only went down 1% since last year. With the Civic arena property included in the sale, $750,000 is probably a good deal for whoever is buying the team.

I was just thinking about that today as well. In the state with the highest lottery taxes, New York, it was estimated that a stand alone jackpot winner would receive $577 million after all is said and done with taxes on a lump sum payout. I'm sure if someone tossed that kind of money at Burkle and Lemieux they would take it.
Upon winning I will buy the Penguins

If I win the powerball I'll buy the team with good intentions and immediately go mad with power. Steigerwald will praise me all game instead of Kunitz and I'll commission a new version of "Boys of Winter" that's just someone singing my name over and over again to the tune of the original song.

If I buy the team my first order of business will be an immediate Kunitz trade, force the GM's hand into upgrading our defense and no more wiffleball.

I'll replace the Lemieux statue with a Mount Rushmore type installation featuring Jarkko Ruutu, Bobby Farnham, Matt Cooke and Francois Leroux.

You have my vote if you also put a Chris Tamer bust inside the arena
Edit- and Billy Tibbetts' prison shank in the Pens Hall of Fame

Deal, the bust will also feature a plaque commemorating the time I got his autograph when I was a kid and accidentally smudged his shirt by dropping the marker.

Me: Hi JR, I'm SEALBound the new owner.
JR: Well Hel...
ME: SHUT UP! Here is your To Do list that must be done by the end of the week or else you're gone.
JR: Ummmm...okay...let's see: Goodbye Kunitz. I believe that means you want him traded. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "**** Porter". Do you trade or send down or....
ME: OFF the roster!
JR: Okay, okay, done. Let's see, never trade another 1st round pick for as long as you live. Bye Letang, hello Laine. That will be tough as...
ME: Shut it! Do it, do it now.
JR: Okay, okay, done. Fire Moorehouse...you have that scratched out?"
ME: Yes, I will do that.
JR: Okay, fire Guerin. Why's that?
ME: Elmer.
JR: Gotcha. Fire Tocchet, okay. Call Ray Shero and remind him he's fire. Ummm...okay. Call Dan Bylsma and remind him he's fire. Seriously? If Laine and Puljujarvi are not selected by the Penguins, fire yourself. Oh nope wait...there it is right there in the fine print. I'm fired anyways. ...wonderful.
We may suck this year and next...but it will be a small price to pay. #MakethePenguinsGreatAgain

If I bought the team, I would also buy from the Calgary Flames a new President of Hockey Operations - Brian Burke.
And then step back and let him take care of it all, chewing my fingernails instead of giving in to the temptation to meddle.

This is all... incredible. You have my support. If I win and buy the team I will use this as a blueprint. I will also tear down the NYI statue.
P.S. The **** Porter was legit lol territory

A crisis of mass proportions would ensue if on draft, free agency, or TDL day any of the advanced hockey stats sites went down!

Stop it?
I'd change the jumbotron from "MAKE SOME NOISE" to "MAKE SOME WOOS"

Remember that behind the scenes video of the Bruins trashing Seguin?
We'd do that for every move. All of them.
