More On The Possible Sale Of The New York Islanders

03/31/2014 at 7:08am EDT

from Josh Kosman and Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

The New York Islanders’ latest effort to find a buyer is getting a lift from the team’s new landlord in Brooklyn.

Owner Charles Wang is in talks to sell the money-losing NHL franchise to Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Barroway for $225 million, plus another $75 million if the Islanders hit certain revenue targets, The Post has learned.

While Wang has been open to a sale for several years, there has been limited interest in a team that lost more than $10 million in a single season and has among the lowest attendance in the league.

But this time could be different because of a revenue guarantee from Barclays Center, where the Islanders are set to start playing in 2015. In October 2012, the Islanders inked a long-term deal to move the team from Nassau County to Brooklyn.
