Casino Fortune Wants to Buy NHL Team
ST. LOUIS, Missouri – As reported by TSN: "An online casino group has submitted a letter of intent to purchase the St. Louis Blues of the NHL.
"Casino Fortune, which is headquartered in Trinidad, says it notified Blues owner Bill Laurie and the NHL about its intention to purchase the team but has yet to hear back from anyone.
"This is not the first time Casino Fortune has attempted to buy a sports team. Previous offers to purchase the Cleveland Cavalier and Phoenix Suns were dismissed as irrelevent by NBA commissioner David Stern.
"…Even if the offer is legitimate, it's hard to see the NHL agreeing to sell one of its teams to a company whose primary income is gambling, especially since it takes a negative view towards betting on NHL games…"
