I wish someone would make asshole Jacobs an offer he couldn’t refuse.

I wish someone would make asshole Jacobs an offer he couldn’t refuse.

I am wondering if the Bruins are approaching the "impossible to sell" category now because the price may be too high. Similar to that of a club like Manchester United or Liverpool in soccer. Because if Montgomery Jacobs is going to sell...it is going to have to be $1.5-$2.5 billion dollar ball park. What person in Boston has that kind of money to pay that and try to get the same kind of financial growth that Jacobs got out of the team that isn't named John Henry? I don't know if there is anyone that can do that with the Bruins at this point. If this was 10 years ago, that could be easily done. I just think the Bruins are too expensive now.
