PHNX is live right now:

If I’m Bettman, I want my cake and eat it too. Help AM win the land bid so the NHL gets a cut of all the money made from it and keep the Yotes there, accept 1B for a team, circle back with ATL and get a deal done. Nowhere does it say necessarily that the team Smith would be buying is the Yotes, it could be all carrot on a stick tactics.

There’s a lot of maneuvering going on right now because there’s potentially a lot more than 1B on the table here, if done right.

I'm hopeful for something like this but I can't see AM involved. I bet the city of Phoenix is going to pull the auction. Hopeful that Ishbia gets involved but my friends that know him from the Suns org are telling me he's just a wealthy shithead that makes dumb decisions. All you have to do is look at the Durant trade to see how stupid that was. I think they have to win a play-in tournament to even make the playoffs.

Ironically enough, the Maverik Center with 10,000 seats would be way better than the Delta Center with 11-12,000 seats. The Maverik Center is newer and has better ice and sightlines.

The Maverik Center is a terrific building. I was there for the Olympics. Well located near transportation and nice amenities for a smaller arena.

So if he didn't pay his hotel fees then who did?

The league can just pay it and take it out of his revenue share cut

 

[GhostofTommyBolin]

"Seravalli said that the Yotes haven't been paying for hotels on the road. And the hotels with league contracts demanded the nhl give certified checks up front so the Yotes wouldn't refuse to pay anymore. That was THIS season."

See, @Kai Yo T? Grifter.

See, @Kai Yo T? Grifter.

Yep. I was going to comment on that earlier, but I camt respond to psts on mobile. I see now.

Such a bummer that multiple owners couldn't do this right.

I think this gets messy

So far we know that the NHL has burned bridges with the Cities of Glendale and Phoenix, and also that they aren't wanted in Tempe. Waiting to see if ASU has reason to be pissed off too in the end. Expansion to AZ isn't happening any time soon.

Maybe we try Casa Grande.

The Scottsdale mayor doesn't like them either.

It's a big city with a lot of youth hockey and now ASU is about to join a powerhouse conference.
Even the 4th largest city (Houston) doesn't have what we have. It's too bad and I hope the NHL finds a way to start fresh.

Not surprising at all ..
Frank S has always jumped the gun been misinformed or missed vital information.. most other news outlets are citing him as the source

I guess we shall see , but what you just posted seems more like how i imagined

NHL posted that the players were told they may play another season in the mullet

Not sure how accurate this is

Chris Johnston has also been telling people to curb the jets because this is not a done thing.

After listening to Seravalli yesterday he was almost saying the same thing, but thinks next week there should be some sort of climax to it.

The state controls the auction. Not Phoenix.

 

[Schemp]

Texas says “hi.”

HI!

 

[Jagged Ice]

The state controls the auction. Not Phoenix.

I knew that. I've been blabbering a lot for the last 36 hours and 50 years.

Honestly, the larger markets really shouldn't need to fund sports teams facilities. I get places like OKC, Memphis, New Orleans in the NBA where there are other potentially more lucrative opportunities, which basically force those cities to pony up the money.

AZ is one of the larger markets, thus they really should not be in the business of handing out money to NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL teams to build stadiums/arenas.

This may be a complete fabrication buuut...

There's no one named "Coyotes Ownership". Put an name to the quote.

That shits f***ing hilarious.

Shane Doan did more than anyone else in the world to try and keep hockey in Arizona at times. Add to that, the Doans are the absolute epitome of class - and I admire them in all possible ways (even religiously, and I'm no longer anywhere close to religious).

Yes exactly this, especially the bolded part, that's how amazing Shane Doan and family are, that even someone like me has tremendous respect for their spirituality. Some of you may have noticed but I'm not exactly the biggest religion supporter, probably ruined my chances of getting on any favorite poster lists. haha

On a side note, this will make the Utah move that much harder, as if your basic run of the mill Christianity isn't f***ing dumb enough, we gotta go full magic underwear.

Reposted by the official Coyotes Twitter account so maybe that brings a little more validity. Beats a sharp stick in the eye as my grandfather used to say.

All F40 regulars are my favorite posters <3

I spoke to soon, I made it boys!!!

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Apparently the coyotes posted that on their instagram story

Reposted is the hilarious part.

Too busy to make an official statement because they're running to the bank to deposit their $1 billion check

What's the burnt bridge with Phoenix? I thought they still want the Coyotes.
