Bruce McNall, the owner of the Kings hockey team, and Wayne Gretzky, his highest-paid player, are close to buying the Toronto Argonauts, according to Harry Ornest, the owner of the Canadian Football League team.
McNall was traveling Monday and couldn’t be reached for comment, but Ornest, who bought the Argonauts in 1988 for an estimated $5 million, said from Toronto that a deal with McNall and Gretzky might be completed within a month.
Besides their employer-employee relationship via the Kings, McNall and Gretzky are partners in several race horses.
