Ha, even the 37 people that live there doesn’t find that funny.I see Saskatoons team is coming along nicely on the 20 year plan.
Probably the smartest move by the Ziegler era NHL was to block the relocation of the Blues to Saskatoon.I see Saskatoons team is coming along nicely on the 20 year plan.
Weekes teasing another development here
That was kind of obvious. I don't see anyone contributing all those resources unless they have an anchor tenant.
I don't quite know what this means or whether it's good or bad.
With the rumors circulating that members of the BoG are "getting tired of the Coyotes situaiton" as it were,
Weekes teasing another development here
Maybe my post wasn't clear but by "another development here" I was referring to news coming for the project discussed in this thread, not another project being developed somewhere in the cityI don’t think he’s using that picture as a specific location within the city, but rather just referring to Atlanta as a city. That picture is used in a lot of articles and other media as a general stock photo for the city.
If I recall correctly, it was something from the October BoG meetings. It was supposedly said by an "unnamed governor"; however, I can't seem to find the specific article I'm thinking of.Rumors have been circulating since 2009.
So which “rumor” are we referring to??

Talk to Quebec City (or, back in the day, Hamilton)...

During my search for that, I ran across this... which seems dubious at best. Seravalli and Daily Faceoff is cited as the source, but I can't find a print article on the site. It's possible Seravalli mentioned that particular rumor during a podcast, but I don't put much stock in that. It seems to simply take another comment from Bettman ($$) of "we’ll see where we are, come February" and attach a date to it. Whether Seravalli actually said it, or this site just made it up, is beyond me.
That said, you know I have no desire to see the Coyotes move.
Eh, to me, the whole alignment thing is overblown. Sure, if they had 3 or 4 teams with potential owners willing to give billions and a ready arena in line, it may be one of the factors they look at, but in the end, it's all about the $$. If any city has the cash, the NHL will make it work.It seems to me that the place we should be paying attention to is really Houston more than ATL, QC and PHX.
The NHL isn't going to add Atlanta and Quebec to the East, leave two open holes in the West and just see what develops.
They might do Atlanta and Salt Lake and see what develops in Houston; but I don't think you want to do experimental cities like Atlanta and Salt Lake, or a small market sure thing like Quebec, without having a heavy hitter as part of the expansion.
Plus if you got Houston and Salt Lake, you can put both in the Central (for the COL/SLC rivalry) and put PHX back in the Pacific.

If Detroit or Columbus has to be moved to the West in order for the owners to split billions in fees, then so be it.
Indeed. Hence why I said *that* particular source I linked is dubious at best. I already don't put much stock into what Seravalli says, but I put even less stock into what some random hockey blogger on some random site says. I get being defensive of the Coyotes, as I was much the same way with the Thrashers, but don't read too deeply into it. I do my level best to remain objective and show my work where possible, which seems to be where I've failed this time around.Servalli has said he “thinks” there’s a deadline of the end of the month for the Coyotes.
Which means he’s guessing like everyone else but hockey bloggers and everyone else out on social media who follows him takes that as a real thing and run with it as such.
