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

[Grimes]

Reportedly both Keller and Crouse don't want to follow the team to Utah. Who knows whether that's true. But it's been said.

Where? Being available to questions like the tweet below your post makes sense as they are the longest tenured Yotes and both have 'A's'

 

[Mosby]

Don't know who this is, but if Keller is traded, I just might follow him and his new team

Edit:
Oops. i think i just misunderstood the tweet

Yes, this is made available to the media, not made available in a trade.

The problem with Muerello is communication.. he let all of the incorrect media speculation come out back in Jan and never addressed it until a few months later., then Everyone was like Oh we screwed up he has a plan .

Now it’s happening again and not addressing this shows that he is not supporting the team , their families or his staff.

I don’t care if everything is proven wrong and they keep the team here… you do not allow this type of speculation get out of control and see all the anxiety this causes you staff and players and just sit by and let it happen.

No one deserves a team who does this

Meruelo has a knack for letting others drive the narrative. I find it hard to believe the man never learns. Ulterior motives at play?

I'd just like them to be honest and put the good fans out of their misery if the team is moving.

All I can say is that the respect I have for BA and Bear has only increased through this.

 

[Alberta Yote]

If Forum 40 also goes to Utah the owners/admins of this site are going to have to beef up the cuss filters.

Because... well you know

Bear for sure. BA idk yet, yes he'll talk to the team, but days after the shitstorm started

AM and AG have always been out of their element and not just in communication. They have stepped on their PPs every opportunity they have had. They made one correct decision the entire time they ran it. When they mishandled the previous GM, they made the right call on his successor and rolling with the successor's plan. They have otherwise been a mistake riddled, amateur hour, clown show and it is fitting they are ending their relationship with this franchise in such a cowardly fashion.

First time poster here. Having a family member who works for the Coyotes organization and not a word from upper management since this story broke is pathetic at the very least. They have a whole staff of employees with families that have no idea when/ if there last day is coming. Panic within the office is at an excruciating high.

it sucks. Shouldn't be this way.

 

[Sinurgy]

Remember the Gary Bettman / Daly press conference during the All Star break? I wonder if they already understood by then what was coming.

100%

I think the deadening silence is more on the NHL. All parties are probably prohibitied to go public at this point. The league control what can or can't be said.

This is the chief reason why I loathe corporations calling people who work for them "family".

 

[TheLegend]

But the quality might be worse in SCL.

@The Feckless Puck
Well AZ also has some more interesting people. I just read about the "pray-in" some people had in AZ Congress.

Oh let’s NOT go there…..

All parties would have to enter into agreement on that prohibition so it would be on all of them.

Glendale wanted the 10-15 year lease because they wanted stability and certainty. ESPECIALLY considering that all of the rhetoric from the Ice Clowns, the NHL, and immediately after buying the team Meruelo joined in, that Glendale was not the long-term solution for the team. In other words, it was obvious that the team was angling to leave. Glendale's offer was, "Sign long term here, and we can figure out something that works for all of us. Otherwise, get lost."

I am fully convinced that if the team had signed that lease, Glendale would have responded with all sorts of breaks, subsidies, what have you to be the quid pro quo for the commitment.

That…. and the arena’s ice system had to be replaced and why do that if the team wasn’t going to stay even five more years.

When it comes to corporations, it's ALWAYS a one way.

Absolutely - Bettman's half assed vote of confidence was the tell.

This was originally reported by the Arizona Republic. The relationship between Glendale and AM never appeared to be anything other than hostile. Sounds like Meruelo made sure of that.

What happened to damage relationship between Arizona Coyotes and city of Glendale? - Rose Law Group Reporter

Meruelo knew coming in what the Coyotes were trying to do (get a new arena in the EV) and wanted to follow up on it.

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

I agree. I think the NHL set him off with an impression and he ran with it. Not even any real dialog between Glendale and AM, it seems.

 

[TheLegend]

The City of Glendale had to threaten him to pay his taxes... Locked him out of the arena. Vendors are complaining he won't pay his bills. Money isn't the issue. It's how he does business.

Because the state had told Glendale to collect them.

 

[DustyDangler]

 

[Arizonatah Coyetis]

Yeah. But what's your point? That Glendale was happy with their relationship with AM and it's the state's fault?

I think there is public , you should still be able to inform your own staff

You still may have me to deal with then.

Hasn’t got there yet.

The management staff can go f*** itself. Seriously.
