from Ray Slover and Craig Custance of the Sporting News,
The Maloof family’s business interests include big-league professional sports, but SN’s Craig Custance reports George Maloof has not been approached by the NHL about a potential NHL franchise in Vegas.
“We’ve never had that conversation,” he told Custance. He also said that nobody has spoken to him about the Phoenix Coyotes, which is in the process of being sold.
That said, Maloof thinks the NHL could work in Las Vegas.
“Vegas would be a great market for a basketball or an NHL team,” Maloof told Custance. “Is this a testing ground? I don’t know. I think this is an event that the community is real excited about.”
