Coyotes' sale in question

okay...
1) It's from ESPN, so it's dubious at best
2) for a guy that claims to know business, dwafus horrilius is sure letting this drag on....and on....
3) Just move them already...why are they letting this go on? Seattle or Quebec or even Hamilton or K.C. await with open arms...

No NHL building at present in Quebec City (not sure they would want to use the old Colisee in the short term) so until a new one gets built, they aren't ready to take a relocating team.

It seems to be true, Jamison is out, a new group already looking in, a new mayor that didn't like the contract......

what I'm afraid of is that they go to Q.C., use the same team name...and then try to "update" the unis like the stupid Jets did....

Maybe they'd be successful if there were more backyard rinks in the Glendale area.

Just out of curiosity, why was that an issue for you?
The new unis were the number one selling unis last year (new owner's investment immediately pays off) while the old Jets unis also spiked in popularity, making cash for the NHL...helping to pay for such things as the desert dogs.
I'd be fine if a franchise in Quebec decided to call themselves the Nordiques again.

1) I like the olde Jets' logo and uni much better. The RCAF look doesn't work for me.
2) I hope they do call the Nordiques if it comes to pass. And again, that is a great logo
3) Maybe helping to prop up a team in an area where they are obviously not being supported enough isn't such a good thing?
4) It isn't REALLY an issue, just engaging in some good natured hyperbole

Fair enough...I like the Jets unis from the WHA days and the 80s.

As for the Nords, have to agree with you...tough to come up with a better logo than the old hockey playing igloo.

We tried that but those darn Canadien geese just barged in and ate all the ice cubes.

Yes, but not as rude as vultures. They just drop down and eat road kill without asking if you want a bite.

Does anyone know who the other group of investors are?

YAAAAWWWWWNNNN!!!
