New Jersey Devils Chairman/Managing Partner Jeff Vanderbeek released the following statement this afternoon in regards to the team's ownership situation:

"As Managing Member of the New Jersey Devils, it is not my desire to sell the team.  My partner, Brick City, and I have different visions for the franchise.  While Brick City has a right, under our partnership agreement, to explore a sale and Moag and Co. has been retained to assist in these effort, I anticipate maintaining a controlling interest."
