Thank you, Craig Leipold, for extending yesterday’s ownership deadline. This gives the city and the local buyers the opportunity to do the right deal for both parties, not just a deal that is right before the deadline.

Thank you, Mayor Dean, for being thorough in this tough task of negotiating and doing your best to create a partnership that works for the Preds and for Nashville.

Thank you, David Freeman and company, for stepping up to keep the Preds in town and for innovating when it comes to ways to make “Our Team” successful right here in town.
