What The New Bolts Owner Brings To The Table

from Martin Fennelly of the Tampa Tribune,
Bettman longed for another Bill Davidson to make the Lightning winners again in the standings and the stands. He thinks the league, and Tampa Bay, has struck gold.
“If you had to computer-generate an owner for this situation, I think we got the right guy,” Bettman said.
Granted, a computer generation might be livelier than the new owner, who will shun the spotlight and not run hockey operations, a blessing since the yahoos on the way out thought they were the smartest guys in the dressing room. The new owner says he will not run this team. He says he’ll hire a “world-class CEO” to preside over the Lightning.
And Jeff Vinik said this, on March 5, 2010:
“I’m going to invest for the long term. This franchise is not going to be constrained by financial resources.”
Write that one down, kiddies.
