NEW YORK (AP) -- The NHL board of governors approved the sale of the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday to a group headed by Dave Checketts, the former president of Madison Square Garden.
The deal, reached March 24, transfers ownership of the Blues -- the league's worst team this season -- and the Savvis Center from Bill and Nancy Laurie to Checketts and his Sports Capital Partners and Towerbrook Capital Partners.The board also approved the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes by Steve Ellman to Jerry Moyes at its annual end of the season meeting.


Okay, all I got to say is, I didn't have enough monery in my checking account to get a piece of the action....maybe if I cash in my 401K and my pension and sell my home...I can get a small piece of a sports team... ...but I am hold ing out for better than the Blues and the Coyotes...

Does this mean that Jerry Moyes has control over Wayne Gretzky's fate? I know some Islanders' fans who would sell themselves just to have control over Wayne Gretzky. That is like forcing the President to do heavy labor!

I doubt anyone had control over Wayne...he can walk off and go elsewhere...besides hockey needs him as a goodwill ambassador...I doubt anyone will mess with him.
