- Alvin Libin (Balmon) & Allan Markin (CNRL): They are original owners. They have the money to increase their stake but are older I think its less likely they buy 100% control.
- The Mannix Family (Coril Holdings) : Doesn't seem like any interest in the team and very private
- The Southern Family (ATCO): They only care about Spruce Meadows (horses), not hockey. Doesn't seem like they have an interest
- The McCaigs (Trimac): Not sure if they have the capital to be a majority owner would likely continue as a minority holder.
The current group has the first right to purchase so the shares probably just get bought up by the current group. So unless they have a completely different view than Murray, it kind of is what it is really.
