Talalay: Prospective Lightning owner shuns the spotlight
I wondered why I couldn’t find any references to Jeff Sherrin, the Coral Springs real estate developer who is part of former Panthers coach Doug MacLean’s group that announced last week it has agreed to buy the Tampa Bay Lightning.
This profile of Sherrin in the St. Petersburg Times explains that’s by design. Although he prefers to be reclusive, the paper reports, it was Sherrin’s phone call to a New York sports broker that led to the deal to buy the NHL team, which wasn’t known to be for sale.
