Br4d Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 One of the weaker markets in the NHL should try the Green Bay formula. Have the fans crowd-source a buyout and anchor the team there while a merit-based management team figures out how to put it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely hope they get a new team sooner rather than later and with the proper ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 It's probably going to be at least five years or so before they get a new team. I'm glad they'll get one eventually, but I'd still be really pissed off. The Coyotes were finally starting to show some life with some good young players. They are an up and coming team, and they basically leave the city in the 11th hour. It'll be great for them to have a brand new facility in Phoenix, but then they basically have to start all over again as a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He extorted the entire NHL. To think that what went down wasn't his plan all along would be crazy. I don't think he knew how much money he would make, but he knew he was going to be able to sell the team for more than what he bought it for, which was his plan all along. To never invest anything in the team, it was a total cash grab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted Tuesday at 06:21 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:21 PM Quote The team's creative accounting was a constant source of concern around the league. There were incidents over the years of the Coyotes skimping on money. The Coyotes would try to stay at lesser hotels than the collective bargaining agreement stipulates. Ownership tried cutting corners when they could, like removing the printer and copying machine from the coaches' room. Quote Other sources indicated local businesses would come to the team seeking payments, would be offered a fraction of what was owed and then would be negotiated down to take less than what was actually owed. Quote Doan worked for the Coyotes after his retirement as chief hockey development officer but had higher aspirations, eventually seeking to become their president of hockey operations in 2023. According to a source, he was told he "wasn't ready" for the position, a verdict handed down by the owner's son Alex Meruelo Jr., the team's chief brand officer who had taken a more active interest in the hockey operations department. Doan, the franchise's most iconic player, left to join the Toronto Maple Leafs' front office. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/40024660/inside-coyotes-stunning-move-arizona-utah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
