Sodboy13 5,794 Posted February 16 There is some precedent for that. Arena Football's Indiana Firebirds were going to be sold for $6 million, but the expansion fee for the league was $25M, so the Firebirds got nuked. Not sure that the NHL wants to be following in the footsteps of the Arena Football League, though! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CS85 10,816 Posted February 16 46 minutes ago, schlim said: The latest Forbes ranking of NHL team values has the Coyotes dead last at $285 million. That puts the Coyotes within a few million of being equivalent in value to the net worth of Gordon Ramsay. Ask the NHL - would you rather exclusively own Gordon Ramsay in all professional capacities and have around $10M in loose cash to line some pockets and keep the lights on? Or would you prefer to have, ya know, the Coyotes? 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 29,147 Posted February 16 It should be getting very hard to deny Quebec City its place in the league. "Detroit has to have road games against Chicago and St. Louis instead of Tampa and Ottawa" shouldn't suffice anymore. It will, of course, but it shouldn't. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sport 14,641 Posted February 17 Finally got around to reading that piece. A lot of their business model seems to be stiffing vendors and then arguing the vendors down to rock bottom prices. Where have I seen that play before? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SFGiants58 14,559 Posted February 17 5 hours ago, DEAD! said: By removing all the seats? No, by cross-promotion with the furry community. Watch a Coyotes game, sell hardcore porn art commissions to absurdly-wealthy clients, try to eliminate the zoophiles from the main group, and engage in sexual activities in the concourses! Spoiler alert: the Coyotes' front office are likely a bunch of furries who want drawings of Kachina Coyote fornicating with the Florida Panther. They'll pay good money for it. Hanging out with a lot of furries online has taught me so much about the fandom and the various intricacies it has. One of the big things I took away from that is that there are a lot of absurdly-wealthy furries who will pay good money for porn art. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SFGiants58 14,559 Posted February 18 I know it's a traditional mascot design, but at the end of the day, it's a freakin' fursuit. It's just less flamboyant that the average fursuit. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 29,147 Posted February 18 Now take a look at good old Badaboum. There's no sexual valence whatsoever to this alleged river otter. He has googly eyes from an arts and crafts store. Good wholesome fun for the family. Though the phallic symbolism here is impossible to ignore... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, dude had an addiction to painkillers.,,and also got shot and run off the road in Vegas once. Wouldn't call a painkiller-addicted seal/otter/blue furry thing "wholesome". Granted, Carlton literally killed another mascot...though maybe offing Nyisles was a mercy killing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
