Confirmed with Link: All-Purpose "Days of Our Meruelo" Talk

[Jagged Ice]

If the NHL thinks that Arizona is anything but salted earth, then they have another think coming. Any NHL effort in AZ is going to have to start over from scratch - literally and figuratively, because they'll need to build an arena somewhere, and because the NHL's local brand is so toxic in this market by now that the only real hockey fans are the transplants who cheer for other teams.

Arena plan finalized before Bettman, the league or any future commish will allow an NHL return to the valley. I still think it's a Suns arena multi purpose in 10 years.

I've got some sweet coastal property in Kansas I'll sell you and I'll throw in a bridge for free if you believe any of that nonsense Craig is pushing.

Craig ain't pushing this.

The is the county government pushing it. Ya know.... the one feuding with the Diamondbacks.

Is this a plan B for turning the site Chase exists on to push the Dbacks out? and combine forces with the Suns on a shared NBA/NHL arena at the site of Chase?

Only the shadow knows

I've said before, i love the Dbacks but i'd gladly trade MLB for NHL lol
