NHL will not intervene in Islanders ownership dispute

The National Hockey League has no plans to get involved in the ongoing dispute between New York Islanders owner Charles Wang and Philadelphia-based lawyer Andrew Barroway.

Deputy commissioner Bill Daly told Newsday that the lawsuit is "a private dispute that should have no impact on the team or its ongoing operations."

Barroway has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Wang for $10 million, alleging that Wang backed out of a $420-million deal to sell the team to him.

According to the publication, the lawsuit claims Wang "was having seller's remorse because he believed he had agreed to sell the Islanders for a price too low."

An Islanders spokesperson recently said "there is no merit" to those reports.
