I heard its kind of a rumour. Apparently Mr. Gilette might be having financial problems so hes put his team up for "Sale" To see the offers he would get. So that he can then go to the bank and tell them look i have 5-6 people willing to buy my team for *A set price* and then voila he gets a loan and can spend the money on team facilities, needs, whatever it might be personal leisure... And he can always pay it back whenever he wants if needed by selling the team.

That does make a lot of sense, but I read in an article somewhere (I'll try to find the link) that even Gainey said he was under the impression that there would be a new owner.
Anyways, the "H" in the Habs logo should be replaced by a "?" for this off-season, there's so many things that could happen with all the UFAs, a new coach, potentially a new ownership that could lead to big management changes such as a new GM, etc... I have no idea how this summer will go for Montreal, but it should be very interesting.

Yah im pretty excited. And im pretty sure i know which link your talking about. I saw it on HF. Anyways I'm not opposed to someone else buying the team, as long as it sees gainey out and a decent head coach and a few roster changes, I will be happy.

The Molson family bought the team today at an estimated $550 Million.

Well, the Molson Bros. were associated with Bell if i'm not mistaken, so I'm gonna put my money on it being called the Bell Molson Center or the Molson Bell Center.
