Minutes after it was confirmed Tuesday that Toronto billionaire Michael Andlauer and his group had reached an agreement in principle to purchase the Senators, the speculation began.
Nobody really knows if that will be the case.
Business can be done a lot quicker now because of electronic signatures, but it took a month to get the agreement in principle and the club has been for sale for eight months.“The best guess is a few weeks to a couple of months ,” a league governor told this Postmedia Tuesday. “We have league procedures and closing procedures. The worst-case scenario is by September.
This pending sale can’t stop Dorion from doing what he needs to do to get this club ready for next season. DeBrincat has indicated he doesn’t want to sign here long-term so the best-case scenario is to find a dance partner to get him moved before the draft.Article content After giving up the No. 7 overall in last spring’s NHL draft in Montreal to acquire DeBrincat, who scored 27 goals last season, Dorion knows he has to strike while the iron is hot with the two-time 40-goal scorer, and this is one of the times when it’s a good time to make a deal.
