As long as ASG keeps making payments the teams can't be separated for 25 years (that is the first time the lease can be reevaluated). After that, then I suppose the teams are considered different assests in the eyes of that contract. I forget the exact wording but there was a clause that said the owners of the Thrashers couldn't sell for 15 years or something like that to insure that they wouldn't default on payments. Then again, I just graduated college with a BS in Business Administration so I may have read it wrong .A2Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984343995009130077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-23202897042336830192009-01-19T22:45:00.000-05:002009-01-19T22:45:00.000-05:00The lawsuit has absolutely zero bearing on whether...The lawsuit has absolutely zero bearing on whether or not the team will move. If the ownership were to change hands it doesn't matter. The NHL has to approve the move of a franchise & Bettman will not let that happen in a market as rich as this one.Lisa Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00699203881834665266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-5960915519369749322009-01-19T22:29:00.000-05:002009-01-19T22:29:00.000-05:00I was at the town hall meeting.

I think what he said was more along the lines of the Spirit owning the rights to the Bulb, and that moving the Thrashers wouldn't make sense because that would mean 43 fewer events in arena per year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-76803646036088024912009-01-19T21:58:00.000-05:002009-01-19T21:58:00.000-05:00man that theres some troubling news.(best redneck ...man that theres some troubling news.(best redneck voice)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
