Florida Panthers owner looking to step down

This is one of those stories that seems to further suggest that the NHL’s expansion into the South was that great of an idea. The Florida Panthers were for sale over last summer, but a deal could not be completed due to league ownership requirements. Now General Partner Alan Cohen is looking to sell a big piece of his share to minority partners Cliff Viner, and Stuart Siegel. Cohen would like to remain on as a minority partner but has no interest in reaming the lead owner.
