NHL forced to drop price on Coyotes?

a Blue Light Special?

If someone wants to buy the team and keep it in Phoenix, then the NHL ought to be a bit flexible. It would be awkward to execute expansion plans while they have a team that is essentially out of business

agree....NHL needs to get Pheonix settled before thinking of any expansion...shouldn't start a new team when you can move an intact team that can at least attempt to be competive from the start in a new home.......

no no no no no
that would just encourage this idiot to put a team in Las Vegas or something
I would offer, as commisioner, a discount to MOVE them to an NHL ready arena in an NHL type city, with real hockey fans in it

Expansion? Where in the name of god did you hear that?

The NHL is in NO condition to be contemplating expansion. In my mind they're two teams over their limit as it is.

I think the other four could be found good homes in sure-bet markets (QC, S.Ont, NW US).

Hmmmmmmmm...expansion. More teams in non-traditional markets, which means more revenue sharing, which means the owners cry poor even louder, which leads to..........

If Coyotes threads had a soundtrack, it would be the theme for the Benny Hill show.

awesome comparison.........lol

If Shane likes it so much in Phoenix and thinks it is a viable market he should throw in the $20 mil they are short.

They have an owner...........they don't have an owner..........oh, they got an owner now..........great do they have an arena lease..............sure, but now they don't have an owner!

This whole mess makes "Tale of Two Cities" look like a short story. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Ah, forget it. It's still the worst of times.

Sign in Buttgloblin's office window:

House trained Coyotes looking for a good home. Inquire within.
