That's probably the nail in the coffin for them in Arizona

Who would want to buy the coyotes other than to relocate them. As the nhl has tried for years.

Sounds like that's game.

Last nail should have been years ago. I have zero faith in the idea that Gary will give up on that market.

Im in for $100.

Too early to say "thats it". He's just sending out feelers incase the auction doesn't work.

Unless the new buyer has land in hand in the Greater Phoenix area and is ready to break ground on a new arena immediately, or can negotiate a return to Glendale, it's likely this.

I do wonder though if this is a voluntary decision by Meruelo. I think there's a decent chance it's not.

The next owner will *definitely* be the one to turn things around.

 

[Siludin]

I don't know why they can't move the team, and then if the market seems more interested later on, returning to the city.
The only reason I can imagine is that the NHL owners and executives prefer it as a travel & leisure destination for road trips compared to somewhere like Salt Lake City.

Hard to imagine any perspective owner building an arena if the Coyotes leaves.

The big problem here is that the team has no home and none on the horizon either. If it's not getting built while they're there, I highly surprised it'll get built while they're gone.

Could this sell-off news impact Bettman's genius plan for the Yotes to host a Winter Classic outdoor game next year?

Forbes' most recent NHL valuations had ARI @ 500M


Is this just Meruelo looking for a sucker to see if he can get out and make a quick buck? Was Forbes off in their valuation?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Welcome to Salt Lake City!

Sure, can you share the book first?

I already bought an extended guarantee on a DVD player and put the kid tutition on virgin galactic stock so I kinda want a sure shot with this one!

Thx!

Hopefully they move to a market where people actually care about hockey.

 

[Primary Assist]

I've sold NHL franchises to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum it put them on the map!

 

[Voight]

Wow who could've seen this coming

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Who wants to buy a cap space laundromat for $600M?

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

I'm in for $86 million
