The sale of the Stars has picked up some momentum and Vancouver businessman Tom Gaglardi is the frontrunner to buy the team, according to a source familiar with the sale. The 43-year-old Gaglardi is the president of Northland Properties, a hotel and restaurant empire started by his father more than 40 years ago. They have entered into an agreement to pursue the negotiation of a sale, another source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun.
