Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos is scheduled to hold a press conference at the RBC Plaza at 1:30 Monday afternoon. Karmanos will reveal the 2011 NHL All Star Game logo and he will discuss other ongoing preparations for the event as well.
Will he give any update about his attempt to sell up to 49% of the franchise or disclose any other important tidbits?
We will be covering the event and will have an "open thread" here starting at 1 p.m. for those who would like to discuss the press conference as well as any other NHL news. I will be taking video at the Plaza and will provide a report as soon as time permits after the press conference has concluded.
UPDATE: Mr. Karmanos will be unable to attend. Jim Rutherford will make the announcement.

Hmmm…. just saw the tweet from Mike Sundheim that Mr. Karmanos will not be here today after all. Tweet was a little nebulous, wonder if the press conference will be cancelled or whether someone else will be there in his place?

Here’s the tweet… implies that the show will go on:
@MikeSundheim Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Karmanos will not be able to attend today’s festivities at the RBC Plaza downtown.

Then this:
Sundheim – The show will go on, with JR revealing logo & other cool news RT @lgc_com Does this mean the event is still going forward?

Without Karmanos we’re not likely to get an update on the ownership situation, he’d want to make that announcement himself. Hopefully they get that sorted out so the rumors of a sale will go away.
I’d personally love to see Mr. Goodnight step in, he’s got the cash on hand and loves the area. He’d be a good fit, especially with both of them in the software industry… although that might be a sticking point.
