Jacques Ménard, BMO Capital Markets, has denied the information reported that the Canadiens and the Bell Centre is officially for sale.
In an interview with the website, ruefrontenac.com, Ménard said that George Gillett had not announced that the team was for sale.
The Canadian also argues that there is nothing new for two weeks while we learned that the owner of Canadian evaluated its options.
Ménard added that it is completely wrong to think that potential buyers have until the end of the week to submit a purchase offer.
Recall that the group of Serge Savard has shown its interest to acquire the Habs. The former General Manager and his partners are ready to take action.
For now, George Gillett has not yet made clear what his intentions are.
