Coyotes players refuse to play or re-sign?

[Voight]

Doubt any player will risk their paycheck and sit out/force a trade

With Mureulo theres no guarantee their paycheques will even be deposited on time.

 

[ViD]

I'd be pissed too if I were a Coyotes player who's been told to play in front of 5000 fans next year again. What a f***ing joke.

They were going to play in that 5k arena regardless of the referendum outcome, it would take a couple years to build a new arena

Which at least there was some sort of light at the end of the tunnel.

Now it's the old fool me once shame on me, fool me 22 times shame on me.

It's a huge blow when a temporary solution becomes not-so-temporary. I would be extremely demoralized as a player.

It’s a temporary solution either way - they move to a new arena in Arizona or somewhere else

I think only Keller, Schmaltz and Crouse are under contract should that Tempe deal had gone through to actually play in the arena. Everyone else, unless you were still on your ELC probably would not be around when that time came in 4 years.

Any player can be asked to be traded. For Keller, he has a NTC which activates on July 1, 2024, so next year. So, if he asks out like Chychrun did last summer, he would likely get moved, just that the timeline may not be what he wants. Schmaltz beings a MNTC in July but with a 10 team no trade list. Not as much pressure on AZ to move him as Keller. Crouse, has no protection.

 

[Sol]

Why would I imagine that.

Just do it.

 

[Unspecified]

So getting suspended without pay for refusing to play for the Coyotes would be the best thing for his career earnings?

If his daddy is not his agent then he should stay out of making public announcements. leave that to Clayton or his actual agent.

It would have been a means to an ends. Or, they could have tried to get back into Glendale (sorry to the poster who said to forget it) just for a few years.

Meanwhile, everyone in Vancouver wishes this is Bedard's dad.

Well yeah, that's what I'm getting at. There is no way his agent would say this because it's bad for his career earnings potential.

Morale?

That's the fakest bite I've ever seen

 

[Rich Nixon]

Just do it.

I will not. Instead, I will ask you to imagine me--Rich Millionhos Nixon, thirty-somethingth President of the United Thing--working at Hooters.

 

[SI90]

Keller- Horvat- Barzal. Make it happen

 

[kingsholygrail]

Could a player have a stipulation in their contract that they would only play in an arena with a maximum seating greater than 5,000?

 

[CapSpace]

Now the NHL want to move the team to Mesa ? What a f***ing joke. Kick Bettman out ffs.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Which is even further away from Phoenix.

Report: Coyotes eye Mesa's Fiesta Mall site in arena search

 

[andora]

Thjs would be welcome drama.. all it takes is one

 

[Refalanhe]

Flagstaff is next if Mesa says no

 

[BigEezyE22]

Should the players lick Gary's and all the owners' boots next?

They can lick whatever TF they want. CBA gives ownership this leverage.

Why would I imagine that.

Because Imma blow your back out.

It pays the same

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Is there an actual credible source on this? how isn’t this closed???

 

[Lurch]

It pays the same

No it does not. Salary is only a portion of the players NHL income. How many endorsement deals do you think they get in a 5k beer league arena with less fans than my local AHL team? There has to be minimum facility requirements for the team which Arizona is certainly not meeting.
