Congrats for having a planed home before new facility built.
(How much with NHLPA complain about HRR impact?)
$$ up front
Wouldn’t you also ask for the money up front given the coyotes recent track record of late payments and “employee errors”?

I don't get why some people are celebrating this as this was only one of the giant steps that need to happen
My earlier prediction was that they will be in the same situation this time next year. Playing at ASU while still trying to hammer out an agreement for Tempe
They really don't have much of a say in that matter.
This is interesting and I feel will finally put the pressure on the league.
While NHLPA cannot do much, they will be talking about it every year until the new arena is done.
If Murelo manages to get a new arena in the region he wins, if he doesn’t he can move or sell.
But this sets a precedent for the league and can open a nasty pandera box.
Imagine Calgary who wants a new arena, why couldn’t they get an 8-10k one for much cheaper than a classic 18-20k one. Heck that would help them drive ticket prices up.
There would need to be some math but it’s not hard to study a market with history and figure out at what price can you make as much money in a 10000 seats arena than in a 18000 one. Lower the availability, increase demand, increase prices and naturally you end up doing the same or better money than before.
&ou do have that with baseball stadiums the last 20 years or so. Granted a lot of them”cookie cutter” stadiums built in the 1960s-70s were dual purpose baseball-football. But even so the trend has been to reduce the capacity to about 35-40,000. Yankee Stadium I, built in 1923, which could some 73,000 and up to 81,000 with standing room and wasn’t really built for football that I know of (the Giants, just starting, played in the Polo Grounds until the 1950s)l
Of course when the Flames first moved to Calgary 40 years ago they played in an arena that held 6,500. A couple years earlier the NBA Nets played at Rutgers that held 8,000. But both of those had arenas on the way. But my understanding this is contingent on stiffing the taxpayers for an arena (best use of money if you ask me).
Meanwhile this Sunday we can watch the CTE bowl with one team that in 80 years has gone from Cleveland to Los Angeles to Anaheim to St Louis and back to Los Angeles. Too bad Cincinnati has been stable since its founding in 968; I would have preferred the Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland-Las Vegas Raiders
With what owner??The NHL should be ashamed of itself. The Thrashers could've moved to Gwinnett and have thrived under this criteria. Heck, the Whalers would be still a thing under this criteria.
Again. What owner wanted to keep the team in Atlanta?and with what arena?
