Delays in closing the deal prevented the sale from being up for vote by the league's 30 teams when they met earlier this week.<BR/><BR/>Balsillie has already started a process to move the Predators to Hamilton should a potential out in the team's lease with the arena in Nashville be exercised after the sale's completion. Leipold announced May 24 he was selling to the team to Balsillie.<BR/><BR/>The agreement between Leipold and Balsillie carried a June 30 deadline for completion, but that date could have been extended.jimhenshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815834271470133872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868118.post-69487065552954525872007-06-22T16:43:00.000-05:002007-06-22T16:43:00.000-05:00Well, now I have to go buy a new Preds shirt, sinc...Well, now I have to go buy a new Preds shirt, since mine says "Vokoun" on the back.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346726679840361554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868118.post-28431123489600791312007-06-22T16:29:00.000-05:002007-06-22T16:29:00.000-05:00Note: The picture in this post is of Vokoun about ...Note: The picture in this post is of Vokoun about to take the ice before game 5 of the playoffs last year.
