Man, I was told by countless yotes fans that a new arena would be voted yes, and it'll be great for the franchise and they can finally start to flourish!

What a load of bs. Maybe more bs than Bettman allowing them to play in a 5k person arena. I hope Bettman wears this and gets his clown make up ready.

There are "countless" yotes fan? I can't imagine it would be too hard to add them all up, although you might need to use your toes as well as your fingers :sarcasm:
 
That's probably karma hitting the Coyotes with how they operated under the salary cap over the last couple years. Absolutely a farce of an operation and they do not deserve a NHL team at all. Who the hell wants them to stay there? I really don't get it.

Wherever they move, that new city will have a team with a boatload of future talent, unless of course they screw up royally their drafts in the next year or two.
 
Mario whined all the time. He even called this league a garage league



Calgary, Edmonton, Habs, Sens and Canucks all went to the finals

One of them could have won if they wanted to or could. Bettman has nothing to do with Canadian teams not winning
Ya need a token Canadian team to keep ratings every so often :-P

Seravalli reported that they weren’t even really mentioning the yotes. They were 8th on the list.

They were marketing it as an entertainment (concerts) venue and real estate not hockey team related.
NHL gets the same ratings as wnba….. it’s like us voting on building a rink for lacrosse.

No one cares there.

I literally had dinner with people from Arizona last year who barely knew there was hockey there. And were dying laughing when I told them that the leagues MVP was from Arizona.

They thought it was the funniest thing ever and were laughing about fake ice.

It’s just not a serious league.

How high can you count?

I did, because I was considering moving to AZ.

WNBA will surpass NHL in dollar value within a decade.

Gotta feel for the yotes fans if thats true. Had to deal with all the college arena shit last year, and now this year its likely they finally lose their team.

How much money did they put into that arena?
 
So what's Gary supposed to do now?

Someone on the main board was whining that if it wasn't for the Coyotes, we wouldn't have Matthews and Knies. Well, back then, they could actually attend a game at an arena. Now, not so much.

I don't know if the yotes owners would have ended up being able to actually afford the project without putting up a massive debt hole. If you actually cared you probably wouldn't have cheaped out with the build up

Halifax would be the coolest option but unfortunately won't happen
 
Will the cap rise in a few yrs now that Arizona was one of the big reasons it didn’t?

Good news for NHL players and the Leafs

What’s interesting is the Yotes board seems to be blaming Bettman and the NHL…
