There have been ongoing rumors for the better part of a year regarding the Carolina Hurricanes and a potential sale of the franchise, and now we have confirmation of those rumors for a source that claims to be part of the ongoing negotiation.

Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News and Observer is now reporting that he has been informed by business mogul Chuck Greenberg that negotiations for a purchase of the Hurricanes are currently ongoing between Greenberg and the Canes.

That being said, Greenberg also told Alexander that nothing has changed in those negotiations and that the process is ongoing, which makes one wonder if perhaps the Canes are asking for more than Greenberg is willing to pay currently for a struggling franchise.

That being said, it now seems quite clear that the Canes are indeed looking to make a sale, and one has to wonder how long they will remain under the ownership of Peter Karmanos Jr.

More to come as this story develops.
