The issue of hydrofracking is a seperate issue altogether. I'm not saying it's not a legit concern. It has nothing to do with Pegula's fitness to be an owner.
Trying to connect the two is patently absurd. Nobody outside NY/PA cares much about it. It's certainly not an issue generating tons of controversy, absolutely not enough that the NHL would give a shit.
If you were worried about the business actions of NHL team owners, you'd have to kick out about 15 of them. Jeff Vanderbeek, the guy who owns the Devils, was a VP of Lehman Brothers, a far shadier company than East Resources.
Hydrofracking is completely fucked. Blasting the shit out of underground rock and filling the water table with hundreds of chemicals is something I, for one, give a shit about. I haven't bothered to read through all the stuff in here, but if this guy was ever head of a company that does hydrofracking, then he's in the business of fucking people over for $. I'll take a guy who doesn't spend to the cap and runs a payroll service ANY day over that noise.
He not only was the CEO and founder of a company that did and still does hydrofracking, he's also very strongly in favor of drilling for crude in the Rockies via hydrofracking.
But he is in the business of energy, and energy makes the world go round. It's merely a matter of time before we see these type of ventures take off, given the cost as opposed to other sources of energy.
Its a world gone mad Stuuuuuu, dog eat dog and winner take all.
