If there is one bright light, I will say that he is in fact looking to sell the team. Don't ask me for sources because I won't put them on record here. Suffice as to say, it's legit.
Although I think at this point Melnyk's looking to make a premium off it, which is easier said than done.
Who knows...maybe it's why hockey ops drafted Peltz's kid in 2009. Try to curry favour with one of the few guys who has shown interest in the past. It's not like he was a good enough player to ever be drafted...not by this staff.
