Around The NHL - Back in the Saddle Again

It auto renews at the New Year unless one of the parties opts out. Which seems unlikely.

Edit: that's the short answer, anyway. Others here can point you at much, *much* longer answers

Nope.... that covers it..... short and to the point.

To make the Mike Smith stuff a little more interesting, a number of Flames fans are calling for the firing of coach Glen Gulutzan, with others suggesting Dave Tippett as his replacement.

OMG. It's nearly Christmas - this may be the only present I ask for. Treliving as GM. Tippett as coach. Smitty in net. And a team threatening to relocate over an arena deal. ARIZONALBERTA!

Should know by January. You already regret buying tickets and are protesting. Why do you care where they play next year? Tocch's not going anywhere.

So nice to see that you are interested in me. To answer your question, I'm a Coyotes fan. Like you, I want the team to stay in the Valley. I also work for a living and I don't think that the Coyotes have even tried to give me fair value for my dollar in years. I have the absolute right to spend my leisure dollars as I see fit and even if you are a season ticket holder yourself, spending your dollars on tickets, you are out of place questioning my devotion to the team based upon whether or not I buy tickets. I thought this "you're a lesser fan if you don't buy tickets" claim was debunked on this board some years ago.

As to Tocchet, it's not a personal animus, of the kind that you have against Tippett. It's simply that he's not doing his job well enough to continue his employment.

or...CALGARIZONA!

Calzona..?

 

[moosemeister]

So, Seattle won't be ready until 2020 right?

 

[BigDoaner]

I do believe this is correct

 

[RABBIT]

Yes, and not for relocation. Expansion. We're fine unless Barroway calls it quits in a few years.

[moosemeister]

I really don't wanna be stuck in the Central division. hahahaha

Mike Smith pitching a shutout midway through the second. 1-0 Flames.

Apparently Matthew Tkachuk was poking his stick around from the bench.

Also I updated the thread title.

Per Bettman:

Seattle to be given permission to apply for expansion. Allowed to start ticket drive soon. Price set at $650 million.

No activity on Houston at this time.

Arizona not a relocation candidate at this time.

 

[Mosby]

Hopefullly "at this time" are your words and not Uncle Gary's.

I don't think QC could find the 500m, so they're out at 650m.

 

[SniperHF]

That's some cash...

Poor Quebecor. Hopes dashed just when they got serious by the falling Canadian dollar.

Mine.... I was at work monitoring Twitter and the plethora of tweets came out on Seattle. Bettman still sticking to the line that the Yotes are continuing to work on an arena solution.

Here's LeBrun's tweet chain on everything.

 

[moosemeister]

Heard a rumor that Barroway and co are working on a deal by top golf in Scottsdale. Deep discussion.

No source, no links, just heard the rumor. If anyone has more insight feel free to contribute.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Hehe....top golf...links....

I don't know how the math works out. Unless he's giving up equity in the team to the tribes, which I'm not sure is possible or plausible.

Coyotes to Houston seems like a natural fit now.

How much in bitcoin?

Sticky this tweet and reread every other month for eternity.

What happened to Seattle? You just don't give up. Your must be getting sore from

The team will be sold before it relocates. There is too much expansion money involved.
