Predators owner wants sale finalized

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Nashville Predators owner Craig Leipold has asked the NHL to hold off its consideration of a deal to sell the team to Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie.

Leipold wants to have a binding agreement on the sale with Balsillie, the co-CEO of Blackberry makers Research in Motion Ltd., before the league further considers the transaction.

"We did send the NHL a letter today requesting that it not do any further due diligence on Jim Balsillie's offer for the Nashville Predators until we reach a binding agreement," Leipold said in a statement Friday evening. "If Jim is interested in reaching a binding agreement, we are prepared to move forward."

Meanwhile, the team is falling apart, and this seems in line with what Bettman wants. This is like Dallas on Ice
Vokoun goes to florida (Mason to take over as top goalie). Kariya is out the door, as is Forsberg. The Mighty Preds are falling.
