Navarro. He's the most logical choice to be made by a man who makes illogical decisions. Might reconsider what team I support if he is not chosen.

I've speculated this before but if he chooses Kestenbaum, he is throwing a big middle finger to the Carolinas and will be the enemy of the region forever. JR's legacy is already tarnished to an extent, because of rampant sexual misdeeds. He can work to repair his relationship with the local public, or he can make sure the team gets relocated, or the city is at least held hostage, by choosing Kestenbaum.

Navarro. It's something of a homer pic. I love Charleston. It's the greatest place in the universe and I love that Navarro is from here. I'm hoping, if he's the owner, we'll see a bigger Panthers presence in town (though we are much more of a college football town than NFL).

Man, nobody is on the Kestenbaum bandwagon. Five people so far would pick a complete unknown before they'd take him :)

If he wins the bid, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Few people have faith that he won't hold the city hostage over negotiations, or just move the team outright out of desire.

Whichever owner is not going to listen to the fan base and pander to the media. Whichever owner is going to make winning the Super Bowl the top priority. The opposite of that creep JR.

Yep.  Test 1-Signing our franchise DE (#76) back, to the ecstasy of Marty, RR, TD, Wilks, the D, the team, and the informed fans.  Test 2-get rid of that absurd shield at midfield to the ecstasy of all 15+ million Carolinians.

Navarro

i don’t believe he will move the team out of state

No one is moving out of two football crazed states with 15+ million people, the center of a growing corporate city ($$$), and a two hour or less flight from 60% of the US population.  No one.  Nor would 24 owners approve any such absurdity.

Tidbits from Peralta:

- Four bidders currently involved; Peralta knows who the last one is but can't say

- Times probably didn't talk to Tepper before writing story

- Still possible for another bidder to join the process

- Despite the "interested at the right price" line, Michael Rubin is pretty much out

- Hard to identify a "front runner" because the process is very fluid

-Peralta confirms Ben Navarro  is a lot like Jerry Richardson personality wise

- Navarro is described as a quiet, family oriented guy who's very active within the community

- All the known bidders love the Carolinas as a market; moving is unlikely but still might want a new stadium

- "Inevitable" that a new stadium is built; likely time frame is within the next five to ten years

- Still on track for the new ownership to be finalized at the May ownership meetings

      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!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      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!
