bustamente Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Arizona Coyotes have not made 1 thin dime since they moved there, their TV ratings don't exist and the people that go to the Arena in Glendale generally cheer for the visiting team, but the NHL just won't give up as long as their are cities in Arizona willing to spend monies to keep the team there.

The Jets should have stayed in Winnipeg knowing how moribund financially this team has been since leaving Winnipeg. We'd have been watching the Jets in an 18,000 seat building at The Forks. I had made a committment to buy season tickets along with four of my friends back in 1995. I saw the plans for the building when I went to the Forks to buy season tickets.

The economics didn’t make sense at the time and no one was willing to step up and lose a bunch of money to pay for the losses.

Imagine the year the Rangers won and for the next 10 with no cap. Same with the Expos in MTL. Why watch a team that has no chance to win...ever!

As far as season tickets go in the new arena, the project wasn't approved by City Council yet. So, tickets actually weren't for sale yet. Sadly, the City waited too long & dragged everything out when it came to the new building. They approved building a new arena for the Jets a day before then owner Barry Shenkarow announced the team was leaving for Phoenix. He had already sold the team.

Pretty sure that T,D&S got some cash for being involved though. SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Cassidy would be a great fit here. Not sure why Trotz would wanna go to Boston tho. If rumors are true he wants to coach for a year or 2 more and then transition to management. Winnipeg actually makes the most sense for Trotz as rumors are the Jets are willing to give Trotz what he wants. Apparently no other team is willing to let him transition to management As bad as some ppl think the Jets are, they missed the playoffs by like 7 8 points and had a coach quit on them, covid related issues, helle just being average and the players not listening to Lowry. Jets aren't as bad as ppl think. Edited June 7, 2022 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Chevy said a coach doesn't need to be in place by the draft but a decision would be nice by then I'm sure.
