All-Purpose "Days of Our Meruelo" Talk

The Feckless Puck said:
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
 
Craig Morgan went on this podcast and served up a few more details (starting around the 16:00 mark)

Biggest nugget of it is Tom Galvin had offered to help Meruelo if he had gone the county island route and got turned down. A couple of other small things in here but also lot of kicking old cans..

Tom Galvin on Brahm Resnick’s weekend show. Gives another summary as to what he wants to do and reiterates this is going to take a while (5 years).

Well...I like what he said. At the very least he gets the obvious, you need an owner and an arena or don't bother. The good news is the NHL is a very willing dance partner if he can do that. It's not Quebec City or KC, if Phoenix can get an arena built, the NHL is absolutely coming back.

After ditching Arizona, Coyotes sue to get $3.5M security deposit back

Typical New Times reporting…. Lots of adjective, little in facts.

Thing was written like a junior high school gossip column.

That said…. I will presume Meruelo has been trying to get the security deposit back since the team was sold and the AZBOR is claiming it’s nonrefundable.

Which….. IIRC was just that.

Honestly this just isn’t even worth it. It’ll probably cost him that much in lawyer fees alone.

Hopefully he does spend that much in legal fees...and then loses. I sure as shit would love that.

I'm not sure if it was intentional... but I love that you used the phrase "sure as shit" in reference to Alex Meruelo.

If it wasn't intentional, and for some reason you don't remember, when he was being interviewed after buying the team, he said "I sure as shit want to win."
