The Toronto Globe and Mail is reporting that the sale of the Blues, Peoria Rivermen, Scottrade Center and Peabody Opera House to a group headed by current minority owner Tom Stillman is close to being done.
According to an NHL source, Stillman has his financing and legal work in place and is just waiting for the right moment – probably when the Blues are finished in the NHL playoffs – to make the announcement. The final step will be the stamp of approval from the league’s board of governors, although that is not going to be a problem since Stillman is NHL commissioner Gary Bettman’s preferred buyer.LINK to the story at the Globe and Mail website.
