Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 How the hell is it that one year after the NHL had to beg for someone to buy the team for $170M, now someone willingly steps forward to buy half the team for $150M???Edit: Also, who's doing the assessment when a team sells for $170M, writes a big red $24M on the ledger book and increases in value to $305M despite no real hope of ever earning a profit in their current location?

The_Admiral Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 If they lost $24 million over the last year, then they're the worst businessmen of all time and should never be allowed around legal tender again. The organization actually seemed to function relatively well. . .ugh NEVER MIND http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/shoalts-new-lifeline-could-keep-coyotes-from-changing-hands/article20906156/ The problem for the latest owners is the same as it was for all the previous owners – despite any claims to a successful first year, the Coyotes’ cash flow is not enough to service the franchise’s enormous debt. The team’s hockey-related revenue (HRR) for the 2013-14 season was said to be just $40-million, last among the NHL’s 30 clubs. They spent $62 million on major-league payroll alone last year without taking any other expenses (coaches, office staff, travel, lodging, debt service) into account. The napkin math is looking bleak here. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 No surprise that KeyArena is turning a profit now. It's the same deal as the Sprint Center in Kansas City: if you can rent out the facility for the nights there would have been an anchor tenant (and boy, it's certainly another meaning of "anchor" here, isn't it?), you'll come out ahead. Concerts are especially lucrative, as we learned with Atlanta Spirit evicting the Thrashers to book more concerts. Of course, you're kind of betting on yourself to fill those dates. The problem Glendale is having right now is that not only are the Coyotes not bringing in much with their games, they're not even doing much else with the arena above the bare minimum. Just goes to show that this whole thing is an unsustainable industry made possible by subsidies from taxpayers and uninterested cable subscribers (who are also taxpayers). No wonder franchise values go up and up. The game is rigged. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Plus, you have to leave open a certain number of dates during playoff season for theoretical games the team might be playing. By the time you know for sure you won't need those dates, it's probably too late to book any decent replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Key Arena is likely good enough for the NHL. Perhaps they hoped an NBA team would arrive within the three-year window and with it, a new place. Or perhaps not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustDevil61 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) How dare you get my hopes up with a title like that! But yea, things were close and yet the Coyotes manage to remain. I'm sure the day will come when they finally move, but I'm not sure if we'll be alive by then.
