Speculation: Habs for Sale???

[sampollock]

he management of the Montreal Canadiens has been accumulating bad decisions over the past few months and it is possible to see that Geoff Molson remains very silent despite his team's problems.
Martin Lemay of 91.9 Sports tried to explain Molson's silence and the host suggested that the Habs are currently on sale and the owner is looking for a new buyer for his business.
Lemay blew up social networks with his questioning and he gave a few examples including the odd contract management from Marc Bergevin for a few months as well as the situation surrounding Shea Weber.
The CH is currently worth 1.3 billion US dollars according to the famous Forbes magazine in addition to the many investments including land and buildings that belong to the CH Group.
Martin Lemay's storyline is highly implausible, but it could still explain why Geoff Molson is so inconspicuous in the media.

[Rockomax]

It's pure speculation from Lemay. Not even a rumor, even less a news article.

 

[WhoAreYou99]

It would make great entertainment for a boring hockey team, but ultimately this is nothing but speculation

 

[Streetsamurai]

I wonder how many persons/companies would be interested in buying them. That's some serious dineros

 

[Doc5]

Marc Bergevin officially out thread and now this. Getting our hopes up only to crush it.

I'd be interested, I might just be missing a few dineros though.

 

[Not The One]

I wish

Yeah, right.

Option 1: The Habs get purchased by a large media/entertainment conglomerate.

Fans: "Oh no the team is run by faceless corporate bean counters who only care about profit and know nothing about the sport".

Option 2: The Habs get purchased by a billionaire who is passionate about hockey and owning the Habs.

Fans: "Oh no meddling owner will interfere with the team and will run it into the ground".

Option 3: The Habs get bought by Québécor:

Fans: "Oh no too much french they will fire all anglos and our team will be a laughingstock because lol french".

the key is the leader of the ship.
example raptors are owned by big media/telecom. but ran by an amazing leader, you see no issues there.

 

[dcyhabs]

Legault will buy the team for the province, give it to PKP, and move it to Quebec City.

 

[sampollock]

lets all pool our cash and pu do this

then fire a pile of guys...

 

[BLONG7]

Man...........the media in Montreal love their drama!! LOL...

File this under the soap opera file....and watch it burn!!

 

[tazsub3]

wishful thinking. For the 100th time in 2021 i will say our biggest problem is no coglione molson.

 

[Goalfield22]

Molson has been quiet because it has been FOUR FREAKIN GAMES!!!

 

[Ozmodiar]

At least this thread title didn’t include “officially”.

 

[NeptunesTrident]

Jim Balsillie…out of the fire back into the fire

 

[sampollock]

Gillette still have cash?

 

[angusyoung]

I wonder how many persons/companies would be interested in buying them. That's some serious dineros

I'd be pulling for the Heineken group,they know how to do things right.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Molson has already made a billion on the habs. With legalized betting to begin soon, habs could be worth another 500 million within 3 years.
Molson has also said returning the habs to his family has been his legacy project
I find this highly unlikely..

 

[holy]

Let’s each pitch in 5 bucks so we can afford some hot dogs.

 

[Seb]

This is pure speculation...

 

[Jee]

 

[Canadienna]

lets all pool our cash and pu do this

then fire a pile of guys...

I'll pitch $100. But only if you find 15,000,000 others to do the same.
