[Rumour] Update: Devils sold to Josh Harris

One less thing that Larry Brooks can drone on about and use to take digs at Bettman

[BACKCHECK!!!]

So for how many years does the City of Newark have to guarantee to cover any losses by the team?

As far as I'm aware, that's pretty normal with these deals...

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 20m Josh Harris and David Blitzer will be announced as new owners of the New Jersey Devils tomorrow. Good summer for NHL team sales.

That was quick.

The NBA owner of the 76ers will own the Devils.

But, but I thought it was a terrible market and they were a candidate to be moved

I thought Josh Harris was trying to get the Cornelia Marie back up and running. Didn't know he had enough money to buy the Devils too!
