NHL threatens to take Rangers franchise away from the Dolans.

The league is asking a federal district court judge to rule that it should be permitted to go ahead with its in-house disciplinary procedures against the Rangers for repeated breaches of the club’s obligations. And the nuclear option among the potential disciplinary actions is the Board of Governors ruling that the NHL’s New York franchise be stripped from the Dolans’ ownership and sold to another candidate.
