So apparently Barrett Jackman is leaving the Blues, should to the jets go for him? he can have Jim Slater
-
Hopefully someone who is willing to commit to owning this team will buy it.
-
ah I see. But still even if the yotes did move to LV, they could still have legal trouble, and they could end up in the same situation all over again
-
uh huh and what are the usual ratings for Coyotes games? not counting the ones where they play the jets
why vegas anyways? the season ticket drive isn't really doing anything, they have sold less the amount of season tickets that the jets have and those season tickets were sold out in less than a week
Vegas is actually a city I think will be successful for the NHL. Its a big city with tons of tourism, And it has no pro sports. Now one could say the other sports leagues have avoided Vegas due to the gambling connection. But I think the NHL is smart to go in there.
So the occasional boxing match doesn't count?

I mean I watched the citizens pleading to keep the team here, most of it was just sad (one person didn't even talk about the coyotes at all, she was just in a huff about all those smoking places)
I didn't exactly hear any players screaming that they wanted out though.
This kind of makes me wonder if the team had been kept here all these years due to illegal funding
-
Why would we be in trouble if we got the yotes? They'd be the Jets owned by true north. The only difference would be the players.
well of course they wouldn't be in that big of a mess, considering how well that True North has handled the Jets. I'm just saying that what if the legal trouble would end up following the team wherever they end up
-
but now there's another waiting game, wait for the lawsuit to go through, and who knows how long it'll take, the team will probably stay in Arizona for one more year. And hopefully they get a legit buyer, It kind of makes me wonder, would Winnipeg have been in this mess if we got the yotes?
-
even if the honeymoon was short lived?. How did the Coyotes even end up in the situation in the first place? yeah we know they were bankrupt in 09 but didn't the problems happen before the bankruptcy?
-
well it looks like the series will be tied again, seems as thought the BH's have taken game 4
-
for those interested in watching the meeting unfold

This might even have been the NHL's end game. They desperately needed the Coyotes to stay in Arizona at the time. Thats why they were 15 minutes away from coming here and probably why Quebec has been buttered up. Winnipeg was a soft landing spot, if not ideal, for the Yotes or Thrashers. If the Yotes moved here, it meant Quebec probably gets the Thrashers because that team was gone one way or another.
Bettman is smart. No way he figured Glendale would eat this forever. And no way was anyone going to buy the team and eat losses forever. It was all about delaying the inevitable until a soft landing could be found, making it appear they did everything they could to save the team, and throwing up a hail mary for a TV deal that might make the team viable.
Havent heard any talk of the NHL attending tonight's council session like they did in the past. I suspect this is simple: keep the deal = keep the team, break the deal = team is gone. Black & white.
if Bettman was smart, then the team wouldn't be in Arizona in the first place
-
all I know is that Marve definately won't be one of them, considering the game he played last night (hope he shows the same results in regular season)

What a mess:
Coyotes part owner Anthony LeBlanc said that sponsorship revenue was up fourfold this season, season ticket sales for next season are up as well and that it's been "shameful" that the team has had to navigate the controversy.
In a statement released Tuesday night after Glendale posted the notice about the meeting, LeBlanc wrote: "This action by the city of Glendale is completely ludicrous," and the city is, "displaying complete lack of good faith, business acumen or an understanding of a business partnership."
What a clown this guy is. He is right though...he's a way better business person than Glendale since he didnt put any money into this pit.
LeBlanc said in the interview with NBC Sports Radio 1060 that some councilors confirmed to team officials that financial terms of the deal were discussed during that meeting - even though Arizona state law prohibits anyone who attends those meetings from discussing what is said during them. It's unclear whether the Arizona state's attorney office is aware of LeBlanc's comments.
lol So Councillors could actually be prosecuted.
At what point will the NHL wash their hands of this? If Glendale pulls their financial commitment, that will be the end. Does anyone miss the days of Winnipeg hockey fans waiting with baited breath for every bit of news to come out of Arizona? We were watching live streams of city council meetings. The infamous "15 minutes away" when a hastily called press conference was set up at MTSC one night...only to have it yanked away from us. I remember their former Mayor complaining about having to buy her own pencils and suggesting police use their own personal vehicles for work to save money,....and then demanding council hand over cash to the Coyotes. What a joke.
Not really,since we do have our own team again, the team never should have moved to Arizona in the first place, I wouldn't have minded if it went to a northern place like in Wisconsin or even Indiana (even though they care more about football there)
-
Well well well what do we have here

I don't want to admit this but I kind of want to see a Team in Saskatchewan, and Hamilton. Quebec City is a high option since their arena is almost finished. Still the Yotes should probably get one more year in the desert and pack up
-
wow what a game, I wish I was able to see it
-
well rajangan has been a bust for me
-
Where did you see that?
on your avatar
-
well Galiardi is off to Scandanavia, he has signed with Malmo of the Swedish Elite League
-
oh, well cause I kind of thought
-
boy I hope Bowman doesn't make any bets, I mean he was smart to not do a Stanley cup playoffs bet
-
hey Mike have I ever told you that i like you avatar, combining both the bombers and the jets
-
hey the start to CFL and NHL season is like christmas, the jerseys are out, and so are fan spirits

Coyotes In Trouble Again?
in Winnipeg Jets Discussion

at this rate, I don't really care if the coyotes end up in Quebec City, they should go to a place where people will appreciate them, and that the right people get involved. They are good players, but I wish I could say the same for soap opera that is ongoing, at this rate it could last longer than Guiding Light (and it only lasted for what seventy something years?)
