Wirtz Out?
Both the Trib and the Sun-Times are reporting that Wirtz might sell the Hawks. This would most likely be the first step in rehabbing this franchise.
I would suggest that the NHL take control of the franchise and auction it off to the best bidder and escrow the money to Wirtz. The NHL should only sell to someone who would guarantee to remove the ancien regime in Chicago and televise home games.
With the Rangers apparently improving, and the Kings in the capable hands of Dean Lombardi, real improvement in Chicago would be great for the league also.
