So who runs the Panthers when...


Lumps

JR is not with us anymore? I am not trying to be disrespectful or morbid in any fashion, it's just part of life and valid question for the inquiring mind. Who do you think? Will it be someone JR wants, or do they figure out the next owner differently? Like a vote from the other owners?

While I don't agree with some of the things JR has said or done, at least he seems to run this buisness the right way, unlike some owners. This is evident by players wanting to stay here (yea the money helps too) but the players we signed seem to play for more than just money. I'd hate to see that ruined.

I was just wondering because it would kill me to have the respectful tradition be ruined by a bad owner that somehow got a hold of a team. I see some owners of other teams seem to drag them down who have had good histories and it saddens me to think what could happen to us otherwise and I do fully trust JR in choosing who it is so I hope that is the case but really don't know. (obviously).

Well I searched and it appears we don't have shareholders so I guess it is up to JR? He owns it outright and has 100% control? I could have sworn I read somewhere he was only the majority owner. I did however find out he is the only owner today that was also a player, pretty cool.

Likely this. When Frontiere passed here in St. Louis, ownership went between her son Chip Rosenbloom and daughter Lucia Rodriguez before they sold to the Kroenkes.

That is my #1 fear if JR has the ultimate choice, is his choice selling the team. Money talks, and I have a hunch it fits into this scenario somehow.

He is not the only owner. Remember his infamous speech last January about owing it to his business partners a return on their investment?

According to wiki he owns 52% and 14 others own the remaining 48%

    • 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!
    • How do I activate said Krispy Kreme deal? I'm stoned man you can't be playing with me about this...
    • 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!
