Confirmed with Link: Coyotes Submit Proposal to Tempe for a new arena (UPD: Proposal details out)

[Hogan20]

I don’t know how you can do that without your head exploding.

I can barely look at Craig’s Twitter replies today without getting unreasonably angry

Mental notes.

Y'all worked up over a tweet!?

I've GOT to be missing something here.

These were they guys who just knew that the Phoenix to Winnipeg relo was a done deal. Not enough smoke here to be concerned about a fire.

Smells like reefer smoke to me, one side dreaming up shit and the other paranoid!

 

[Summer Rose]

Dear Christ am I ready to be done with this saga.

At least if it ends with relocation I can just become a full-time Lightning fan at this point.

 

[TheLegend]

This one smells different because of the sources. They're solid.

If you think Mike Ozanian and "some unknown banker" is a solid source then your bar is set pretty low.

It's like that famous poet Reo Speedwagon said....Heard it from a friend who, Heard it from a friend who, Heard it from another the Coyotes are leaving town.

So, it's just a mention to his friend who is habs fan also? Why did he not tweeted this rumor by himself?
One guy tells us that the other guy is his source. And the Other replying that he was right. Oh my, what a level of journalism

 

[TheLegend]

That fact that both these Forbes guys and Rick Westhead are running this open conversation on Twitter of all places...... before even publishing an article...... smells like a bad fishing expedition.


BTW... Rick Westhead is a good investigative writer (even though he blocked me on Twitter back after I mocked his comment on Glendale being EAST of Phoenix ). But even good ones get sucked into these things.

This is a long but interesting read. Falls under the heard from a friend narrative but a few interesting points.

Not the first time Westhead has hopped on the bad news wagon. Here's an oldie but goodie.

NHL issues stern denial on Coyotes relocation report - TSN.ca

I hope Muerlo just donates a few hundret thousand dollars to the institute and some Cars or something.
So that they stay quiet.

Or just change parts of the proposal and make it 100% private.

 

[Kai Yo T]

We've been led down dead ends and dark alleys so much and for so long that I don't care if it's coming from the media, a dude on twitter, the NHL, or the Coyotes. I only trust a confirmed 'done deal.' Everything else is just noise. It's damn loud though lol!

The gift clause is indeed one of the dumbest laws on the books in Arizona and The Goldwater Institute will die on a hill (with their huge war chest of cash) if they even smell the gift clause being slightly broken.

As always, private financing can fix this. The league can fix this if they really, really want to do so. But it's not likely.

Meanwhile…. for some fun.

Anyone wanna give me the cliff notes in where we’re at with all this? It’s a lot to sift through

Rogue tweeter reports Coyotes for sale. Hilarity ensues.

 

[Muppet]

How many times has it been reported over the last 10+ years that the Coyotes are on the verge of relocation? We've heard it allllll before, and would you look at that, the Yotes are still in AZ.

The Cedric Caballos thing mentioned was brought out by the guy at Field of Schemes (or FOS as I put it because he often is).

The person who’s fronting that is a promoter who operates three or four storefronts in the Camelback District and the group he’s representing is the ABA. Which is essentially a quasi-semi-pro basketball league operating its games out of high school gyms and YMCAs.

It’s nothing to Tempe. The fact the guy needed a letter from a guy who’s been battling CoVID for the last few months isn’t really a game changer either.

Goldwater is back in the weeds, waiting to try and kill this thing in court again. This may or may not be enough for everyone to say "f*** it" and move the team to Houston.

Still no interim home, which is a major problem if Glendale goes full true believer and can't be bought.

 

[Llewzaher]

Would you guys be ok with a temp home in Saskatoon for 3-4 years? If it means arena stability after that?

Saskachatoony Eh?

Even I've now lost track. It is now something like:

Portland
Hamilton
Winnipeg
Quebec
Seattle
Las Vegas
Seattle (again)
Las Vegas (again)
Houston
Houston... or Quebec (again)

Can we take any comfort in Meruleo's extensive real-estate/development/gaming background? He has to have faced obstacles that are similar (not the exact same) as Sky Harbor and the Goldwater Institute before, right? Ice Arizona, he is not. Meruelo is pretty much the Real McCoy, no?

Well, that's the thing...Latino in a latino market + gamer with a new gaming license + willing municipal partnert + by all accounts not a poser = success(?)
