If you could trade your owner...

[Rorschach]

...would you and for who?

For your main team, if you could exchange your owner for another sports team owner, who would that be? Would it be another hockey owner or an owner of a non-hockey franchise?

For me in LA, I have no complaints with the Kings owner. There was talk that he would sell the team after the Cup in a "mission accomplished" sell high move. I'm happy he's stuck with us.

For a second I thought this was a forum question for dogs.

pegula for mcdavid straight up

 

[Foppberg]

Kroneke isn't great but he has deep pockets and doesn't meddle. Watching the tire fire in Montreal and Ottawa has made me appreciate him more.

Habs fans would want Lemieux... owner and 1c

You could answer it that way if you like.

Nashville has some of the best ownership in NA sports, so absolutely not.

 

[landfill]

Yes. Goodbye aqullini. Maybe for the Winnipeg owner or tom galardi from dallas

 

[HenrikW]

Jeffrey Vinik for me. Also, what would Winnipeg be without Chipman? There's another solid one...

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Bye bye, Katz.

 

[thesaadfather]

Wirtz built the Hawks back up after his dad ruined the franchise. Wouldn't trade that guy for anything.

 

[Not Jared Cowen]

Yes, for almost anyone.

 

[Saitama]

Jets say no thanks, we're good.

 

[Devils090]

Our owners saved us from becoming Coyotes East, don’t meddle, have lots of money and are almost always drunk at public events. They rule.

 

[MR4]

MLSE was a meddling kid but now that they're hands off they're good. I guess I'd trade them for Vinik though considering that's a long term guarantee on no more meddling

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Give me Bill Gates, the philanthropist.

Not sure he cares about my cable bill or my internet speed, but he's probably funding some schools and medicine for people who really need it.

Maybe he can set a bit aside to make sure the Leafs can compete.

 

[Beville]

Melnyk for a bag of pucks.

 

[Zero Requiem]

The owners of Manchester City or PSG.

Winnipeg would probably just be in search of another team president to handle operations for the actual owner

 

[North Cole]

I'd trade Katz for Ivan Savvidis. He cares about his team deeply...............

Owner of Greek soccer team apologizes after running onto field with holstered gun to protest goal

Try and coaches challenge with this guy on the opposing bench Just try Colonel

Less QQ, more pew pew!

 

[bert]

Yes, for almost anyone.

Almost? Haha I can't think of a single qualified owner I would want less. Maybe that prick that moved the expos Laurier (sp).

 

[liljegren beast]

Jeff Vinik if we had a sole owner

 

[BleedBlue14]

Kroneke isn't great but he has deep pockets and doesn't meddle. Watching the tire fire in Montreal and Ottawa has made me appreciate him more.

I hope to god he wouldn't ever consider moving the team to a major market like he did with the Rams. He does have deep pockets but he's also an ass hole.

I would love to have community ownership à la the Green Bay Packers. No fears of relocation, no money grubbing every last cent possible since profits are all either reinvested in the team or go to local charities. No fear of what happens when your current good owner sells the team or passes on. Cities are already building arenas for teams, may as well just buy the team outright and reap all the rewards directly.
