A few months ago, I posted a 'worst owner in sports' poll so this now is the other side of the coin.

I'd vote for Mike Illitch. Not only is he hands off but he employs some capable people, i.e., GM Ken Holland, and unlike other cheapskate owners, he's more than willing to spend the vast revenue he generates on the team to make it better. This is the biggest reason why the Red Wings are arguably the most dominant franchise in North American sports.
