Nice of him to show up I guess
And I would then argue why do you think the players wont insist on this being a part of future cba? There are a number of reasons they could, but chief among them is to create some sort of standard so there isn't a repeat that will impact HRR/the cap/escrow/their own salaries. That is all 100% cba relative after this whole fiasco in mullet.The BoG can choose to add arena requirements into the NHL Constitution, or more likely into the NHL ByLaws. The league can pretty much add or change any rules they want without PA consent so long as the rule doesn't affect something already covered by the CBA/collective bargaining, and isn't otherwise illegal.
Just curious, can Meruelo continue to sell Coyotes merchandise in the interim? I got hit with an email from the AZ Collection Store 2 hours before the BoG meeting to buy Coyotes jerseys. Not going to be a big bread winner going forward but curious as to how long he can continue make money from the trademarks.
They’re not folding, they’re deactivating and selling the assets.Shouldn’t this mean there will be a dispersal draft and an expansion draft in the Coyotes are ‘folding’ and the league is expanding to Utah?
Atlanta failed twice. The Nords lasted longer in QC than either the Flames or Thrashers did in Atlanta, in fact longer than those two combined.If the NHL stops at 17/17, Quebec will not be the 17th team in the East; Atlanta will be. Quebec absolutely needs to hope that the NHL pushes forward to 36 as quickly as possible.

TBD...So the AHL Roadrunners team is not moving to Phoenix and staying under Meruelo? Or what?

Even if there is language that guarantees the PA input in situations like this one in some manner. Essentially the PA acknowledged they were powerless in this situation so their only real course of action was to start complaining in the media. Word is that it contributed in ways to this outcome, but no one ever wants to see a situation get to this point to begin with.
This topic really is a mutually important thing that impacts the players, the league, and everyone's revenues in the future. Better to let someone have a seat at the table opposed to making the media their only way to get attention, at least in a league like this. You don't want this stuff or your PA in the media openly badmouthing league decisions if you can prevent it. The cba isn't reserved for just the things that the owners want in it...

Watch another owner shows up to the auction to outbid Meruelo and end this thing with himI think the slate will all get cleaned out on June 27th @ 11:00AM when the land auction starts and Meruelo is nowhere to be seen. ( JMO, but I don't think he even shows up ) . As well, the NHL should be talking to Meruelo right now and tell him to "read the room". No one in Arizona wants you as an owner.
At that point the NHL can start the process of trying to have a franchise in Arizona with proper ownership. Not going to make a prediction on this happening, but if Meruelo walks away, the NHL doesn't have to wait 5 years. They can start on this right away.
This is a funny example that you chose because the Charlotte Bobcats fans were thrilled to get the Hornets name back that they never wanted to lose in the first place.I think some brands are bad and some can be tarnished. At the end of the day, nobody cared about almost 20 years of New Orleans Hornets basketball and their fans were happy enough to move on from it, for example
