Confirmed with Link: All-Purpose Coyotes Arena Talk: [Update] Land Auction Cancelled, Meruelo waiving ownership rights.

I wouldn't get ginned up over that right now.

There are more hurdles to get over now than ever.

Oh, come on, captain buzzkill

A fresh start in Arizona may only be 5 years away.

I'd be over the moon but I also put the chances at about 5%.

For me the positive so far is that just about everyone is thinking, saying even, that hockey will be back to Arizona soonish. 5-7-10 years, whatever, it does really look like it will be back.
And frankly, after the horror show of the last decades, one could have considered a "NEVER AGAIN" type of answer, particularly so soon after a dramatic last minute relocation.

I'd be over the moon but I also put the chances at about 5%.

I'd put them lower than that. I think given Meruelo's pending move of the Roadrunners to Reno, that the odds are that professional hockey will be gone from Arizona completely in 5 years or less.

Until a multi times billionaire with 3 billion in liquid assets to burn wants a team in Arizona the odds are zero. Find one of those guys and it's a different story. Only been looking for 20 years but I'm sure one is around here somewhere.

The only way 5 years could possibly work is if somehow a new building gets solidly going in 2025 (lol) or if Ishbia is awarded a team and has them play in Glendale (??) until the suns lease is up and they move in with them in whatever new building phoenix builds them?

All seems very far fetched, but we all got burned thinking seravalli was full of shit before, and he broke the final story of the franchise. He’s obviously tapped in, and can’t be discounted fully.
