Let's Go Pens! Ru

Какая-то непонятная статья про то, что Бальсилье перевезет Пингвинов в Канаду. Не очень я понял, в чем смысл, но, по ходу, народ стебается. Особенно смешно читать интервью

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said he heard "over and over again" last night that "the NHL wanted to put in a provision to ensure that the Penguins stayed in Pittsburgh and Mr. Balsillie didn't want to agree to that."

да, там чё-то непонятное щас происходит...хотелось бы самого Балсилье послушать/почитать....

Just because billionare Jim Balsillie backed out of a deal to buy the Penguins this weekend, that doesn’t mean Balsillie won’t eventually buy the team. Pittsburghsportsinsider.com has learned why Balsillie dropped his bid to buy the Pens. We’ve been told that Balsillie was informed this week that he wouldn’t be awarded the IOC license. Being the smart businessman, Balsillie decided to withdraw his bid of $175 million with the intentions of submitting another bid for alot less money once Plan B talk is made official. Balsillie was willing to put up $175 for the team as long as it included the arena from the IOC. But he isn’t willing to spend $175 million plus contribute millions of dollars annually for the construction of an arena. From what we understand, Balsillie will put in another bid for the Pens but for a lot less than $175 million but with the understanding that he’ll also be responsible for paying some part of a new arena. Once Plan B becomes the Penguins only option to stay in Pittsburgh, the selling price on the team will no doubt come down from $175 million and that’s when Balsillie can and probably will submit a second bid. So while, he’s being written off right now, it’s Pittsburghsportsinsider.com’s guess that Jim Balsillie will once again emerge as the likely owner of the Penguins.
