Serious (and not so serious) ownership predictions

Let's go ahead and engage in some unfounded speculation (unlike what we usually do here).

Things you predict could happen depending on which bidder wins the Panthers sale, whether serious or... not so much.

 

If David Tepper buys the team...

Someone from the Steelers front office takes over as GM.

The "family" atmosphere is gone. From here on out it's all business.

Upgrades to team facilities and maybe even an indoor practice facility could become possibilities.

The team institutes a reward program where the player who makes a difference in the game gets a set of brass balls instead of the game ball.

 

If Ben Navarro buys the team...

A consultant is brought in to help overhaul the team's operation. Joe Gibbs could be an option.

The team will make more of an effort to market in South Carolina.

Training camp most likely stays in South Carolina, but may not stay at Wofford.

People who get behind on their PSL or season ticket payments suddenly start getting aggressive collection goals.

 

If Alan Kestenbaum buys the team...

Justified or not (and probably not) people start talking about the possibility of the team moving to Canada.

A consultant likely comes into play here too, maybe a guy like Ernie Accorsi.

The team motto becomes "Keep poundin, eh."

(yes I know he's originally from Brooklyn; don't take it so seriously)

 

What else ya got?

Dave Tepper would run the franchise like George Bluth

Ben Navarro would run the franchise like Jack Donaghy 

Alan Kestenbaum would run the franchise like Sam Malone

 

Me personally, I want someone to run the franchise like Frank Reynolds runs paddy's pub.

George Soros buys the team. He then institutes a "guns-for-tickets" program, whereby fans can trade in their guns for game tickets so the guns can be melted into an Obama statue. Everyone with a red MAGA hat will angrily boycott the team, but the business will remain profitable through a successful tenure that includes re-signing Cam and Luke as well as hiring 9/11 truther Pete Carroll to both coach the team and put up a new locker room sign, "Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams."

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
