Message: [QUOTE="ct06111, post: 2050681, member: 6413"] I wonder who? Courant: "As a result of sending that letter, getting as much publicity as it got, we have been contacted by a group that would very much like to explore ... bringing a team should they be successful in acquiring it," Gov. [URL='http://www.courant.com/topic/politics-government/government/dannel-malloy-PEPLT00007625-topic.html']Dannel P. Malloy[/URL] said Friday afternoon during a tour of the 42-year-old downtown arena. "There are folks who are seeking to understand exactly what our plan calls for, and that's not exclusively the Islanders anymore," he said. "We've been contacted by other folks who are interesting in acquiring an NHL team and want to know what we would do to this facility to modernize it." Register: "Malloy said Friday he has spoken in the past with the NHL commissioner about Hartford possibly hosting a team. He said there are other owner groups, “not exclusively the Islanders” who have expressed interest in learning more about the state’s plans for the XL Center. He did not elaborate". [/QUOTE]
