Dear Canucks fans,

Please be delicate when chanting “sell the team”. Yes, the ownership hasn’t been kind to this team in terms of making them contenders for the Cup.

The situation with the [Dallas] Mavericks is one example. They’re an ownership who knows nothing about the sport and ordered a trade of their generational superstar in Luka Doncic. You thought the Aquilinis might not care? The next person w/deep pockets might be worse.

Another thing to worry about is: Relocation. Imagine a foreign billionaire buying the team and moving them elsewhere. Where haven’t we seen this before, Vancouverites?

It would be a frickin’ miracle if we get someone like a Steve Ballmer who can front the cost of a new arena, practice facility, and front office personnel that is driven to make the team competitive again.
