My guess is the purchase price was much less than Basille's. Or the NHL would take this bid seriously. So would the bankruptcy court.

The article didn't mention if Moyes knew of Reinsdorf's intentions, or if this was a backdoor deal pushed by Gary Bettman and the powers that be.

Money talks...I guess his did not talk loud enough.

Jerry is looking at owning his 3rd professional franchise...........WOW is he loaded!

My guess is it was less then Basille's, Moyes knew about it, and cut the back end deal with Basille as he knew the NHL would rather have an owner who keeps the team in AZ.

Bring em to HARTFORD! BRING BACK THE WHALERS!!!

heck yes the Whalers deserve a comeback! But I'm still pro-Winnipeg or Toronto first. The Whale beauty jerseys, just awful on-ice product. Get a team back in those uni's, though, fast!

I miss having a team in Winnipeg or even Quebec City. Though having a new team in TO and having them do better than the Leafs would be very funny. Love the Whale jerseys! The pine green and off white was truly amazing. Wouldn't mind buying a Shanahan one right now.

agreed, those whaler jersey's are still one of my faves

I cant see the Yotes leaving this season but still hope this whole affair drags mine me down.

er...mini me...

I heard this just after Mr. Crackberry put in his offer. And yes, it was a lot less money than he was offering, something in the area of $20 mil less. Bettman was still going to approve it first.

Did you send the smoke signal out yet?

Is it really so hard? There's no argument: Phoenix has been losing money since they moved there and that's a FACT!! Screw phoenix and their 200 something fans and give'em to Balsillie already! Why why why why WHY would you even want them to stay? To lose another 74 mil?

Yea, I'm sure Reinsdorf really wanted to buy the Coyotes before the whole bankruptcy proceedings started. Sure. He was like just a day or two away from making his bid I'm sure (or so Bettman is telling him to stay). Haha

yotes suck. go north. bettman will pay with his soul.while your at it get rid of atlanta,florida,tampa,carolina,columbus,dallas,and one of the california franchises.retool the conferences and have a dispersal draft.go down on ESPN and get people involved again.
