It's a shame the circus is over. Edmonton is now the biggest act under the big top.

I'm sure it just popped up with the excitement of the thread.

Apparently the agreement is that Ledecky and Malkin will buy minority share of the Islanders immediately and take over majority ownership in 2 years.

It's great that Evgeni Malkin can join Penguins owner, Mario Lemieux, as part of the small ranks of owner-players.

I don't want to besmirch Wang, I believe his intentions were good, he bailed them out and pumped a lot of his own money into the team when nobody else would.
I believe his decision to trust Milbury did him in from day one. milbury set the team back years, he pissed off the fans and I think he might have had more acceptance for his Lighthouse project had the team been more successful.
Having said that, this is good news for the Islanders.

Is this mean Garth Snow will be gone as soon as the Board of Governor approve the sale?

So it's actually just an agreement to buy.

BOG approved the sale today:
Dan Rosen @drosennhl
Bettman says Isles sale unanimously approved. Not final yet b/c it hasn't been closed but hope is to have that done before season starts.
