Nashville Predators (NHL) owner Craig Leipold has announced that he is selling the team to Canadian billionaire, John Balsillie. Balsillie is the CEO of the company that makes the Blackberry (Research in Motion Ltd.). The deal is not yet official, as the sale must be approved by the NHL. In December 2006, Balsillie withdrew his offer to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins for $175 million.
