Jacobs recently met with a group of New England investors led by automotive mogul Ernie Boch Jr. to discuss selling his majority ownership of the Bruins to Boch's group of investors. Negotiations are ongoing and there is no word on whether or not Jacobs' Delaware North Companies would retain ownership of the TD Banknorth Garden.

According to sources
Charles Wang is “very interested” in outbidding Boch for the B’s. His bid is “contingent on a tax maneuver” to dispose of the Islanders, perhaps through a tax-deductible donation to Computer Associates shareholders.
