We have a shocking report regarding one National Hockey League franchise. 

A stunning report from Bloomberg's Scott Soshnick has just revealed that the Carolina Hurricanes are on the verge of being sold, although it doesn't sound like the plan is to relocate the team as of yet. 

From Bloomberg:

Chuck Greenberg, once part-owner and CEO of the Texas Rangers, is close to completing an agreement to buy the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes for about $500 million, according to people familiar with the deal.

The team will stay in North Carolina. Greenberg will seek to add local investors to the ownership group and plans to split his time between Raleigh and Dallas, said the people, who asked for anonymity because the negotiations are private.

"Since an offer has been made to purchase the team, Mr. Karmanos intends to evaluate that offer and also will continue to evaluate his other options, including retaining his ownership of the team."

Stay tuned, more to come on this story as it develops.
