I was thinking there might be a mutual way of us buying the Thunder that benefits both us and the Islanders.
So we buy the Thunder, kick them out and relocate Adironack(under a new name obviously) to Stockton. Well, why not see if the Islanders are interested in supporting a move for the Thunder to go to Glen Falls as an ECHL team?
Do any NHL teams directly own or financially support an ECHL team, or are they all self sufficient/owned independently?
