I don't know their lease situation, but they were talking about a new ED somewhere at one point IIRC. All this is a moot point.

I want to throw a rage party with the Forum 40 gang to say our goodbyes. We deserve it. We stuck through all of this shit
Everything you should know about the Suns arena deal before the Phoenix City Council votes
On Wednesday, the Phoenix City Council will decide whether to partner with the Phoenix Suns on significant upgrades to Talking Stick Resort Arena.
www.azcentral.com
Looks like a 15 year lease extension to 2037 with an option to extend another 5 years to 2042.
So, 13 years from now their lease is up.
It makes more sense NBA/NHL can go in together on an arena. But, given that the Suns control the the revenues of Footprint, the NHL team needs to have the same owner as the nba team. No reason for the Suns to reduce their take of arena revenues from virtually all of it down to 50/50 with an NHL team that has a different owner. That's why Sarver didn't want a new arena to share with the Coyotes. From a pure businss POV better to get all of the revenues from a renovated Footprint than 50/50 on a brand new arena.

Someone dropped a random "Coyotes are moving to Utah" comment in a work chat. Fumbled my phone seeking breaking news and...nothing.

So to give a bit of an update. I don't want to say too much but employees are being told that no one will lose their job. This does not mean the sale isn't going through though.
Eh I don't know, sounds pretty straight forward, whatever hail mary was happening has ended like most hail marys.

aahh yes I've seen this before. Oh you're not losing your jobs, sure you need to sell your house and buy a new one in salt lake within the next couple of months but hey if you do that, you can still totally have your job for now!
Can we throw sandwiches at Alex Meruelo?

Spicy twist: watch Ishbia be a bidder at the land auction
Not what they are being told. The land auction will still be very important for the future of the NHL in AZ. Again, take it for what it's worth. I don't completely trust what they are being told either.

If an expansion team does come back, they've gotta go Roadrunners right? The Coyotes named has been a goddamn curse from day 1. Just use the current Tucson AHL logo and jerseys.

"Just say it 3 times..."
The idea of a new arena came up not too long ago… same place that Greg Stanton proposed be built when he was mayor of Phoenix.It's no secret that the Suns would like a new state of the art barn. If the NHL team is part of the bargain, it's a big bargaining chip. And Footprint is a much better short term solution than Mullett...

Thanks for the updates
Could Smith buy the yotes and keep them in Arizona temporarily until there's clarity on the arena

I don’t think this is reporting I think this is him posting like a frustrated fan
No, let's say Gambo may not be far off on the future plans.

So the team is moving, and a new expansion is coming? The Road Runners still stay under AM and play at Mullet?
