It turned out to be a good week for fans of NHL ownership drama, after all.

A few days after the Coyotes’ four-year me s was officially resolved, the New Jersey Devils’ situationfor sale but still owned by Jeff Vanderbeek, who Tommy Wingels Jersey also owns $230 million in debtis squarely in the spotlight. On Thursday, the story, via Forbes, was that the NHL was prepared to seize control of the team nobody bought it by the start of the season. The footnote, though, was that at least two groups were highly interested.

One of them, according to Philadelphia radio host Howard Eskin Tim Schaller Jersey , is close to a deal.

Okey dokey. It’s worth noting that Eskin has been drastically wrong about two high-profile NHL scoops he’s gotten in the last yearone was that the season would be canceled because of the lockout. The other: Sidney Crosby wouldn’t play in 2013 because of concu sion-related i sues. Neither of those happened.

Eskin’s report is most largely relevant because of reports by Tom Gulitti of the Bergen Recordand Rich Chere of The Star-Ledger, who cover the Devils better than anyone. Gulitti David Pastrnak Jersey wrote on Friday, citing a source close to the proce s, that the sale could be wrapped up “quickly.” From Chere: “(Officials) with close knowledge of current negotiations say the Devils could be sold within the next several days and almost certainly within the next two months.”

Neither specified that it was Harris’ group, though. The other most prominent bidder is led by Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Barroway, who has already helped Vanderbeek pay $30 million of bills, according to Chere.

Sodone deal. Quickly. Several days. The next two months. Barroway. Harris. Regardle s, it seems like the team will be sold, and soon.

Any deal for the Devils will keep the Danton Heinen Jersey team in Newark and include the operating rights to the Prudential Centerand Vanderbeek’s debt payments are due soon.
