I am afraid so. Be proud as you are brick that has built the castle.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

It'd be nice to know who also bought it.

With 250 mil, I'd avoid the aggravations of NHL ownership and just sail into the sunset instead. YOLO

That 250 million might become a billion.

Your sail into the sunset with that kind of dough would be even more glorious.

Too bad he couldn't help us draft in the first round

Judging by today's news, don't think his presence helps much for 1st round picks.

So he sold 10% share for 2.5B and then bought the entire Sens for 950mil? Seems like a win.

 

[Scintillating10]

Who bought his 10%?

Who bought his 10%?

The Molson family.

He is part of that entity, yes.

that franchise is destined for relocation down the road , so he will flip it again at some point for a killer profit

No that's the value of the Habs. He sold 10% of 2.5 billion. The habs aren't worth 25 billion, although when I read the tweet, I assumed that some would read it wrongly.

 

[Barriwhite]

Geez guys learn to read, he sold his 10% piece of a 2.5B pie. He didn’t pocket 2.5B.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Smart money 101.

Buy the Habs, the arena and the event booking company for 550M. (10% for 55M)

Pocket 10% of the profits for 15 years. (Basically 10% of the cap + wtv evenko made.. probably in the 5M to 10M range yearly.)

Sell the 10% for 250M, use the profits and partners money to buy the Ottawa Senators for 900M.

that franchise is destined for relocation down the road , so he will flip it again at some point for a killer profit

Exactly. They will try to get public money/land for a new arena or sell the team to Houston or Atlanta for 1.? billion in 10 years. Can't lose either way.

What bank account, we cancelled it.

Oh okay. I don't follow the value of NHL teams so I thought for sure he paid 2.5 billion, which accounted for 10% of the team's value. Makes more sense that team in total is worth 2.5 billion.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Very poorly worded.
