For some reason, the reports out of Canada that Seahawks CEO could leave the team for the Tampa Bay Lightning won’t go away.
Florio mentioned that Tod Leiweke wasn’t a candidate when the story first came up a few weeks back, and the Seahawks said through a spokesman again Leiweke won’t move to the NHL after another report came out that “details were being finalized” on a deal.
The Seahawks were aggressive dismissing the report, so there’s no reason not to believe them. There’s also not much reason to think Leiweke would leave a gig running three franchises (The Seahawks, Trail Blazers, and Seattle Sounders) to run a hockey team.
