New arena possibility? Slim. I’d give it 20-25%.
Here's the problem. The piece of land the Coyotes have identified is owned by the state land trust. It cannot be outright sold, it has to be auctioned. 100 acres of prime land, adjacent to one of the busiest freeways in Arizona is prime, prime real estate. There will be plenty of bidders. It is near one of the most popular shopping areas in the state. The Coyotes can certainly bid on the land and may win but it will not be a lay down. The auction will likely take up to a year to happen and if the Coyotes do get title to the land, it will take at least a year to put in infrastructure and another 2-3 years to build the arena. The NHLPA is unlikely to stand for that timeline..
Way more knowledgeable than you.

Is there any chance the state can rig the auction & limit what can be built on the land? For example limit the bidders to ones who want to build an entertainment district or something to that effect?

Amazing what a winning streak through all of February (Knock Knock) will do for the sanity and mood of this thread. After tonight only 5 games left until TDL. Let the panic and madness now officially begin. Let the loonies loose!
No. State land issues are very visible and very public. The state has a lot of land but they are very protective and high value land is very coveted.

Agreed. This version, this season is a mixed bag that's hard to get a read on.
I'm not sold they are a lock as a great team. Good, not great.
Our pick/prospect capital is thin and this core is not only aging but showing its ass on some nights with 2 major players approaching their contract movability status from Pillar to Wheelbarrow.
Many forks in the road. Pulling a Tank/Kane/Motte maneuver like last year doesn't feel like the right move at all.

Interesting condition. If Bemstrom scores 6 goals the rest of the season the 6th turns to a 3rd.

A trade that won’t help either team.
Can DET stop winning. Kane would legitimately be an option. Affordable contract. RW. Producing.

Old though, likely wouldn't make it to the end of 4 rounds. I'd prefer someone younger. You see how much better we are since Kakko, Edstrom, Rempe replaced Bonino, Pitlick and Wheeler. Its young legs, even if Rempe hasn't really played much, he's added some spark.

I would take my chances. Like you said, there is plenty of speed throughout the rest of the lineup now that we swapped out a lot of the older vets in what was really the bottom 6. Not every guy in your lineup needs to be a speed demon buzzing around every single shift. You cant replicate the offensive talent, the hands, the vision, and the high hockey IQ that he brings. He is silencing all the doubters because he is a competitor. I would bank on that continuing.
I dont think they can afford his salary even at 50% retained, which would cost quite a bit of assets to have NSH hold that retention spot for the next 2 years after this one. And I thought I have read he has been having a down year, i mean he is getting older and has a ton of miles on his body.

Emily Kaplan mentioned the Rangers like Roslovic.

$4M cap hit. Columbus has all three retention slots.
Blue Jackets trade tiers: Which players might be dealt, and who is untouchable?
The Blue Jackets should be sellers, yet most expect them to be relatively quiet before the March 8 trade deadline passes.

Arthur Staple has a new article. Save the 3 minutes reading it. The same names all over again. Some of these players have been available for the last month and nobody has paid the price.
Arthur spent the last calendar year trying to trade Lafreniere.

Move the team to Utah. The Smith's will be good owners. Arizona is a very good market. The NHL should consider giving Arizona an expansion team if they can get the new building built. Find a good owner. Does Ishbia want to own a hockey team?
Detroit is making the playoffs. The same eight teams in the playoff spots right now will be the same eight teams at the end of the regular season. Seravalli made that point on his podcasts. That's the smartest thing Frank has said in years.

Yea at 2 million and a mid round pick Roslovic is a good depth add
Is Kurlay worth 2.5 next year to be the 4th line C between Goodrow and Vesey ?
He shouldn’t cost much either
Bean on D is RFA. Only ufa is Ros so CLB could eat some of the Bean contract too
Jones may be on JDs list
