If this really does go south, I'll likely be out. I'll also be more inclined to follow the roster and front office to SLC than support an expansion team here in AZ, if I'm not out completely.

I ask, does anyone have an idea when Meruelo would have to show he has lined up not only the min $68.5 mill but also the many hundreds of miilion that would be needed for the site servicing and development?

At this point, the team and league need to get straight with us. After everything we have been through, all the promises, the drama, and the commitments that fell by the wayside, at least be honest now.
NHL approved Mullett and now there is an issue? NHLPA I believe is the driving force behind this.

I think I’ll loosely follow the Utah team as long as the branding doesn’t suck (Utah Jazz is awful) just to see how my favorite players turn out then follow the team with a clean slate when they come back. I’m not ready to give up the NHL

I had a great experience at a Coyotes game in late 2001, just before I deployed overseas after 9/11. Sad to see Phoenix area losing team. i heard a few weeks back that certain staff members were told to start looking for houses/apartments in Salt Lake City.
If the only metric is technically having a team, yes, but when it comes to on ice product, I'd argue the fans are getting screwed in the short and long term. We'd almost certainly be looking at a good 15 years, 5 to get the expansion and 10 to then build a cup contender, before there's an actual good hockey team in place. Considering how much shit hockey AZ fans have watched over the past decade that's 25 f***ing years of of no hockey/shit hockey. Meanwhile, Utah will be handed a team on the cusp of entering their prime. This would be a giant f*** you Phoenix fans!

Auction wouldn't have been listed without it.

Didn't the org just come out and say expansion is plan B and the land auction is plan A?

I gave up rooting for the Red Wings in '96 for this team lol
Life has taught me that when the media poses a question as the title of their segment, the answer is almost always no or at most "it depends", but it's never yes. Clickbait 101
haha same!

I dont have an answer. But I will mention that the Tempe city council did a deep dive in this respect and was fully satisfied.
Yes. 10yrs from now. 11k for 7yrs is worse than 4K for 3yrs and then 17k thereafter. Especially if you’re trading in a market like PHX for a market like SLC.
i know. The PA complaining about the Mullet reminds me of that scene from the mockumentry Spinaltap. "but this one goes 11".

Getting an NHL team immediately can push that timeline way up pretty easily. But it doesn't matter because the Coyotes playing anywhere but Mullett next season is not even a remote possibility, right? Isn't there only a 100% chance they play at Mullett and a 0% chance Smith invests a billion in a half-cooked botch job of scrambling to launch a franchise?
