Oh absolutely with how expensive not only hockey is but just the cost of living in general we realistically need to wait another decade or so before we expand. The NHL also needs to expand their Asian foot print mainly China Japan and KoreaThe NHL has to stop expanding for a while. There isn't enough talent in the league.
The twitter account and the Kachina was the only saving grace for that teamf*** this guy and his punk son!
It'll still likely be at least the 5 years Meruelo has for the rights to the franchise, because it feel like he's going to be petty and put a ridiculous price tag on buying out that term should the NHL try to restart the franchise quickly.Probably get a team back quicker without AM than they would've with him bungling things every step of the way.
Houston and Atlanta will get a team before Arizona. After Arizona becomes the 35th we will probably get a 36th, I'm guessing either Quebec City, or Hartford are the front runners for the eastI just can't see a team going back to Arizona before Houston. The Houston market is so apetizing.
I think we will find out soon... but Houston and Atlanta are getting the next 2 that is for sureSo do we still have to officially sit out the waiting period until the rights expire or can the search begin for a competent ownership group?
I can think of a billion reasons why he did this.
Yup, I would like to hope that if another ownership group with some good will in the Phoenix community stepped up, things would be betterI'm sure a lot of people wish he'd done this a year or two ago. I don't love the idea of the NHL expanding further, but to give the Arizona fans their team back, I'm perfectly ok with it.
Why bother..... ATL is working on a plan and new arena. So, no rush. Houston, could have a team tomorrow as the arena is ready to go. They are dependent on Fertitia paying the price they want.It'll still likely be at least the 5 years Meruelo has for the rights to the franchise, because it feel like he's going to be petty and put a ridiculous price tag on buying out that term should the NHL try to restart the franchise quickly.
Stop it.I'm sure a lot of people wish he'd done this a year or two ago. I don't love the idea of the NHL expanding further, but to give the Arizona fans their team back, I'm perfectly ok with it.
Would he though? Depends on the terms I guess, like if he just gives up the rights and walks away, I figure the league would become the proprietorIt'll still likely be at least the 5 years Meruelo has for the rights to the franchise, because it feel like he's going to be petty and put a ridiculous price tag on buying out that term should the NHL try to restart the franchise quickly.
