No deadline set for Coyotes new franchise

[forty_three]

That's a good idea. The NHL should put the Coyotes on EBAY with a buy it now set at 150M.

I wonder what the limit is on a PayPal credit card?

Apparently an image of Jesus was found in a floor tile at SkyHarbor Int'l Airport in Phoenix. If that isn't a sign, then I don't know what it.

I think Glendale needs 30 pieces of silver more...

the city has its own "mystery buyer" who the NHL hasnt approved

Greg jamison is still in the mix. I wonder if he has been relegated to "mystery buyer"

On a related note, Phoenix posted the 8th best rating for Game 1 in the finals at a 4.0. I know a lot of you anti-growth people will scoff at it, but its not meaningless.

Still expecting this to fall apart as it has for the last 5 years or so. The Coyotes to Seattle idea seems to be picking up steam though I'm not sure there's any credibility to it. It would be sweet if Chris Hansen could ammend the MOU with the city of Seattle to start building the new arena upon the acquisition of an NHL franchise rather than an NBA franchise. Not gonna hold my breath though.

Would love it if Paul Allen got his head out of his ass and brought the Coyotes up to Portland. People are getting sick of the Blazers, "We are young" excuse.

Forms downloaded from Legal Zoom do not constitute a "framework".

Roenick?

Well, whatever happens, it will be entertaining.

So Glendale can't get its shit together for 4+ years now and the league tells the Canucks they can't have their AHL franchise in Seattle because the arena isn't available? That's a bunch of crap.

yteah, I have nothing to base this on, but I get the feeling having roenick in charge on anything "hockey operations"-y
will have similar results to when someone gave Brett Hull a pen.

They were in a bar discussing the NBA finals.

is this seattle thing real or just a ploy to force PHX people to hurry?

I am going with yes to that question. It is real and a ploy.

Go from one non hockey market to another?
...Only gary Bettman

Is it too much to ask to get a resolution to this debacle in the desert? Either get a deal done in the next two weeks in Glendale or move the team.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Do AHL teams get some sort of compensation if a relocated NHL team moves into their territory/city ?

(i think I know what Aquilini was up to )
