Western Conference NHL team possibly being sold pending approval - Not the team you think
When we talk about an National Hockey League team being sold, one would probably assume and hope it's the Arizona Coyotes, but it's not.
The Nashville Predators joined the NHL in 1998 when Craig Leipold owned the organization. It was later sold in 2008 for $193 million to a group of businesses to keep the Predators in Nashville.
