I don't think this above is true that it was heard on the radio but I believe this is where he may have heard it from on the Vancouver Canucks forum..

"Ok to post a speculation here with no linked source?
I don't usually post stuff like this but my connection who also happens to sign my cheque's rubs elbows with big biz in Winnipeg is saying "it's a done deal. Will be announced after the Olympics"
Many will have already heard the names involved... the usual suspects:
MTS is major shareholder and will have the TV broadcast rights (upon further questioning of my boss this seems to come from an MTS senior executive)
Marc Chipman (True North)
Thomson Carswell Group
I asked him how realistic he thought/felt/anticipated this to be and he said "it's a done deal. It'll be announced after the Olympics"
Me, I'll believe it when I see it... but my source is not the type to make it up... though he may be being misled a bit, I don't know.
Anyone thinking the MTS centre isn't NHL ready - you're wrong, it's NHL approved.
peace".
