DustDevil61 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I know it will (probably) never happen again, but I’m probably not the only one who would love to see businesspeople in Quebec and, say, 7 or 9 other markets to somehow launch an alternative league (like a new WHA). I don’t think the NHL BoG and Bettman can bend over any further to keep the Coyotes in Arizona. 1 Quote http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Remember when Gary Bettman threatened to move the new Jets on day one, because the then-MTS Centre's 15,000 seat capacity was on the small side? 1 8 Quote PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thrashers moved because there was literally no one in the state of Georgia that was interested in buying them & keeping them there. It had nothing to do with the arena situation. Whether you like it or not, the Coyotes have an ownership group that is committed to the market. As long as there's a faint possibility of them getting approval for the new arena they won't be going anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coyotes are the NHL’s version of a vegetable being on life support for almost 20 years. It’s time to pull the plug.

AstroCreep Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I've never seen a league so obsessed with saving a franchise in a market that's clearly not working. This is an embarrassment to the franchise and to the league. They should not be this proud moving into a community center. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The Coyotes are the perfect loss leader to drag down the cap. Hopefully the NHL isn't dumb enough to have that written down for the next lockout/strike. 2 Quote On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.
