I think both will command north of 13mil. Bouchard likely gets at least 9. Its gonna be an interesting season for them. I think everything not bolted to the floor is going out in favour of a Cup run.

As part of the sale to Utah, the Jets 1.0 history stayed with the Phoenix franchise, to be "reactivated" one day. But, now that Meruelo has decided to walk away, and once the NHL makes it official that there is no more franchise...
So, now who owns the Jets 1.0 history?

None of it belongs to Arizona, on the same note Thrashers past history belongs in Atlanta!

Where it "belongs" isn't the issue. I know where it belongs. It's where or who Bettman thinks owns it.
Chance for AZ to clean the slate a little and just transfer it all over to us. I'd imagine Chipman and co are all for it so its just a matter of the league letting it happen. Perhaps we need to make some noise about this. Think a petition would work?

It may still be possible for Meruelo to sell the dormant franchise. Of course it couldn't be worth much and the league would need to approve the sale and the buyer.
I expect the NHL would prefer the whole thing to just die a natural death and refuse to consider any potential buyer. Or insist that the dormant franchise was tied to Meruelo and dies with him pulling out.
The cancellation of that land auction was the last nail in the coffin for Phoenix.
I think as part of the deal if he walks away he gives up everything.
I'd imagine whatever is there just transfers to the league until someone decides to pony up the money to buy the rights as part of the expansion fee.

It was probably written up that way from the start. But I don't know that we know that for certain, leaving the possibility of that franchise being transferred to someone else. I think that is a pretty faint possibility though.
Start your petition. I'll sign.

I think it was worded that he only gets everything back when he pays the 1 billion expansion fee. He technically doesn't own anything.
The team itself was sold to Utah and the brand was transfered to the NHL for $1 billion. If he payed the $1 bill expansion he got the brand back and the rights to an expansion team via draft. As far as I undestood it. I believe the NHL worded it this way so that if he walked away or couldn't get it done then they retain the Coyotes brand to then sell as an Arizona expansion team down the line if someone new comes in and decides to pursue an Arizona team.
As far as I can understand it the NHL currently owns the Arizona Coyotes brand and can now basically do what ever they want with it. Our past is in Bettmans hands now.

Kings should have won the first round and will win the next time they meet, next year.
Kings are kinda bad to be honest and Kopi and Doughty just get a year older. They are also running over the hill Kuemper as their starter. I would love a 1st round matchup against the Kings next year. Don't @ me when we get swept though.

No chance that the Kings win next year, since they traded away PLD.
Yes, a joke. What, too soon?

They were a game away from the Cup and probably were the better team over the 7 game series. They're going all in next year I'd guess and I think they have a very good shot. Might be the pre-season Cup favourites.

Oilers are a funny team, they've twice had to make coaching changes during the season to get a spark out of the team, in the last 3 years. I wonder how Stuart Skinner bounces back next year...that was a weak goal to lose the Stanley Cup, and he was very weak against the Canucks, early in the series...

Skinner was fine in the Final apart from the 2nd period in Game 3. The Reinhart shot was tricky for a goalie, between the pad and the glove by the elbow.

Looks like Draisaitl's injuries are confirmed and McDavid also had a serious injury.

I will say, the comeback got me to sit down and seek out to watch a non-Jets NHL game for the first time since they returned.
I expect the viewership to be insane.
