Interesting bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_...g_(businessman)


Grew up in Pittsburgh and was neighbours with Mark Cuban growing up.

He was the lawyer who helped Mario gain ownership of the Penguins and also helped get a deal done for the new arena in Pittsburgh.

Other than his dealings with Lemieux and the Pens, most of his sports dealings have been baseball related. He was partners with Nolan Ryan in purchasing the Rangers in 2010 and the team made its first ever World Series appearance that fall. He sold his stake in the Rangers after less than a year.


He lives outside Dallas and has no ties to Carolina, as far as I can see. The cities he does have ties to already have NHL teams, so maybe he just wants to own a hockey team.
