Report- Minnesota Wild Minority Owner May Jump Ship To Join The New York Islanders Group

from Josh Kosman of the New York Post,

Minnesota Wild co-owner Phil Falcone might quit his hockey-crazed home state to make a play for the New York Islanders, The Post has learned.

The beleaguered hedge fund mogul and former Harvard hockey player has been mulling selling his minority ownership in the Wild with the goal of becoming an eventual owner of the Islanders, sources said.

If that happens, Falcone would invest in the Islanders alongside friend and fellow Harvard alum Jon Ledecky, who last month led an investor group that purchased a “substantial” minority stake in the NHL franchise, sources said.

“[Falcone] is thinking about it,” said a source familiar with the situation.
