GREEN'S BUYOUT OF STARS' PARTNERS RESULTING IN LAWSUIT?

     Stars Owner Norm Green's buyout of former North Stars
partners Howard Baldwin and Morris Belzberg several years ago
"will soon result in a juicy lawsuit," according to sources cited
by the ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS' Charley Walters.  In the deal,
Baldwin and Belzberg "were to be paid over several years by
Green."  Walters notes that the suit will be filed in Palm
Springs, CA, because Green, "coincidentally, has a home valued
conservatively at $7 million" there.  Also in the column, Walters
reports "the word" in Dallas is that Green is considering a move
to Phoenix because of his inability to get "an adequate arena
lease arrangement" (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 3/6).
