The_Admiral Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 To be fair, it's not like the Thrashers were just plucked. Their owners kicked them out of the arena and they had nowhere to go and no one to buy them.

njmeadowlanders Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Bettman before Game 1 at Prudential Center: (Per TSN):Greg Jamieson continues his efforts to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes, both on putting his equity package together and working with the city of Glendale on a building management deal. A city vote next week on the management agreement may pave the way for the equity side of the equation, Bettman said. Asked if the Coyotes would definitely be in Phoenix next season, the commissioner said: "I can't say anything with 100 per cent certainty. So I think that the likelihood is, based on everything we know today, that the process should conclude successfully but it's not something that I'm in a position to guarantee." He did acknowledge there is no Plan B, however, saying the hope was that the Jamieson takeover would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkJourney Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Wasn't it Bettman who steered Gluckstern and Burke (who purchased the original Jets from Barry Shenkarow) away from Minnesota and into Phoenix instead? Bettman wanted to save Minnesota for expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Arizona' Coyotes coming soon.Where does it say that? Only thing I saw was that the city would like them to change the name, not that it actually was going to happen. Not sure what they think that would accomplish either. Glendale is still BFE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Jamison still doesn't have the money and the city doesn't have the money to pay billionaires $20 million a year.

'Arizona' Coyotes coming soon.If the sale goes through. And if Goldwater does not sue. And then if the new owner accepts this agreement without changes. And then if he then feels like making the name change is "feasible". So, in other words, not going to happen. "Soon" or any other time. At least, it's no more likely to happen today than it was yesterday. Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 New York Post: Bettman spotted at Barclays CenterFrom Page Six: So who was that commissioner of a professional sports league seen exiting the Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center subway stop and then hurrying across the street to enter the new Brooklyn arena on Friday afternoon?Why, informants tell us he looked suspiciously like Gary Bettman, who could have been trying to score tickets to the Sept. 28 Jay-Z that will open the arena, might have been checking out the location of the suite from which he would watch the Oct. 2 Islanders-Devils exhibition match if it?s not canceled by a lockout, but may also have been visiting the office of developer and owner Bruce Ratner to chat about the possibility of, oh well, an NHL team moving to Brooklyn.Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the Islanders at Nassau Coliseum ? the lease expiring in 2015, Charles Wang seeking a new venue for his club and the overburdened suburban taxpayers unlikely to defray the cost of a new arena for the hockey club.To be sure, there are roadblocks to consider in moving the Islanders to Brooklyn, the least of which by the way is Barclays Center?s seating capacity of less than 15,000 for hockey, because revenue is about gate receipts, not attendance.There is the literal issue of roads, limited parking and whether folks from the Island would travel by mass transit to watch a transplanted team or whether the franchise would have to develop a new fan base within the city that has longed pledged its allegiance to the Rangers (as the Nets will do within the boroughs that are betrothed to the Knicks).But it?s a conversation worth having. The Dodgers could have gone to Queens when they instead skedaddled to Los Angeles. It would be an everlasting shame if the Islanders were to go to Quebec (or Seattle) if they instead could move to Brooklyn.It?s merely a subway ride, as our moles tell us the NHL commissioner took on Friday.

Nassau may be old, but at least it's designed for hockey. Barclay's can't host hockey on more than a one off basis with how crappy the hockey set up will be.

The_Admiral Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yeah, and Barclays may not fit a hockey rink, but it doesn't slough asbestos and its roof doesn't leak, so six of one, half-dozen of the other.
