Eklund: Hope for Preds in Nashville
Some reassuring words from Eklund in the comments on his blog:
“leipold was the only reason for the preds in the first place…there is so much this guy did that i truly believe there isn’t an owner in any sport alive that would have worked harder…hpckey [sic] in nashville sure isn’t easy…and this story isn’t written yet….selling to basillie may end up his best act yet when it comes to saving hockey in nashville…trust me on this one..there is more to this…be careful to wait a bit prior to passing judgement here…
i so i wish i could tell you all i know tonight , but all i can say is dont trade in your hockey jerseys yet preds fans….plenty of hope…”
I don’t know what to think after today, but I am at least mildly encouraged by this. I’ll do the best I can to wait for tomorrow’s news conference. I will agree with Eklund’s comments that Leipold has bent over backward trying to make hockey successful here. Perhaps there is more to this transaction than we’ve heard so far.
