He doesnt have to accept the other bid. He can wait for someone else to come along. It says alot when the other bid which includes ex players supposedly was worth the same amount of money but yet he chose a Edmonton based buisiness owner.
I think Rhett Warrener is the wild card here, he is way to arrogent to be involved in this deal. He was one of the ex players that has been critizizing Jack this past mem cup year. Warrener was on sportsnet fan radio on Friday and the comments he made was very arrogent for a guy who is trying to buy a team off a guy. Usually when you want to buy a team from a guy you don't go on the radio and bash how he has ran his team over the years.
I have never liked Rhett Warrener and personally because of that I hope Preistner gets approved to buy the team. Warener is way to arrogant, always has been. It wouldn't work in my opinion, he would be an owner that would also try and be the GM, and coach. He said as much so on the radio that if they bought the team he would be heavily involved in the hockey operations.
I think Jack and the Brodsky family has the best interest of the the Blades organization and will sell the team to the best suitor.
