BOSTON and DALLAS (December 23, 2006) — The Apartment404 Online Journal has been informed by sources within the NHL leaue office that high level discussions are taking place between Buffalo, N.Y., based Jeremy Jacobs, chief executive of Delaware North Corp., and Mark Cuban, internet billionaire and current owner of the NBA's highly successful Dallas Mavericks.
