Ask any other Preds' poster!! I'm no fan of Lairpold. He lied too. As Minny fans are discovering he's a horrible owner. He was trying to dump the Preds to the highest bidder to buy another team. It's like a husband divorcing his wife and marrying her sister. He did little here to promote the team and didn't try to win except when he was trying to sell the team.
