SI.com: Sale of Panthers a boon for fans...maybe

From Allan Muir:

This is a team so bereft of offensive firepower that coach Peter DeBoer already has said that he's counting on several young players to have career years, and others to maintain last season's career bests. Uh-huh. Probably hoping for 82 games out of everyone, too.

This article was so good and dead on. I’m encouraged by a potential owner stating he needs to spend money to make money. Of course, I’ll believe it when they purchase the team and actually dump some cash into putting a team with serious playoff potential on the ice.

Keep in mind, ALL new owners say they’ll spend money (so as not to scare off the remaining fanbase); that’s a standard line.
