Seems a bit of an overpayment but they were first in and must have really wanted him. It is good to get him in early and get adjusted. Canucks are going for it and I like that.

Think the plan is how they refuse to relocate the Yotes because of expansion fees. But they probably will be OK dissolving the team in a year

No major professional league will dissolve a franchise

It would be Image and financial hit

They would allow it to relocate at discount if needed rather than that. We saw it happen with Thrashers when they were kicked out of building as part of sale of Hawks/Arena

After years of nothing much to see in his pro game and injury after injury Turcotte finally had a good night. 1 goal, 1 assist and +3 in 10 minutes against Nashville. Maybe things will come together for him.

Good, the morons finally reversed course.



And note, the 2030 games are very likely going to be awarded to Salt Lake City, so imagine being only an hour ahead of full-fledged Olympic hockey. Glorious.


NHL was right to not go previously, and IIHF/IOC appear to have walked back on some of the issues NHL had with sending players




Will also be curious to see if NHL will be able to use imagery/etc of players at Olympics. Remember last go round that was another reason for NHL to walk since they were not allowed to even promote players participation or benefit from it

This has gone on way too long at this point. It’s a f***ing joke. Force them to sell the team. The market isn’t the problem. If you move this team to Houston it will still fail.

I 1000000% agree with this. Sell to SLC and when there is a ‘real’ owner down the line for PHX then expand back there.

I’m confused with this Utah news, is Gary trying to expand to a 33rd team or relocate Arizona to Utah?

I’d imagine he (rightly) doesn’t want to lose out on that Arizona market but ownership and the arena situation(s) are bush-league.

I mean you have a rich guy saying "Take my money"

Gary and owners are looking at another juicy expansion fee and who could blame them when you got a rich guy willing to pay from all accounts

At end of day Gary works for BOG so the Arizona being still alive is decision of owners in end. If they wanted it to end it would have ended with them relocated long ago
