The Blaze received multiple inquiries from teams looking to deal for defensemen, but there wasn’t enough in return for Gardner to pull the trigger.
Gardner wouldn’t say which players teams were seeking, but likely candidates would be All-Star Aaron Dawson, Mark Znutas and Craig Cescon.
“Everybody wanted to trade for futures (future considerations),”Gardner said. “With a couple of teams rumored to be heading to the ECHL, that just didn’t make sense for us. There wasn’t anything even to consider.”

I think if you look at this closely, Sandy has already thrown out an "out" on the table. The local investors meeting. When she realizes that no significant local investors come through, will she bail on this franchise?

Leighton or DelBuono could not raise any money in the last year. What makes anyone think that a New Jersey absentee owner can do the same? Get ready for an interesting spring with the CHL issues and now this.

If you own a team and other people approach you to buy a piece of the team that's great. However, if you own a team and you are "seeking local investors," you have no business owning the team.
