In this edition of PTIsles, Joe Buono (@IslesBlog) is joined by Newsday’s Jim Baumbach after he broke the story Tuesday afternoon that the Islanders have won the RFP to build a new arena for the team at Belmont Park.
Joe and Jim discuss the monumental achievement of John Ledecky and Scott Malkin, the uncertainty that follows with the Barclays Center lease, Brooklyn and Nassau County politicians already weighing in, potential legal battles and Charles Wang’s complicated legacy.
