Son of a *****. Everything has to have a catch now.

 

[Jakey53]

Good news! (but again with a catch):

It doesn't state when. We got it made now.

 

[RABBIT]

Doug and wolf just said that Tippett has agreed to a new contract pending the sale of the team! Bittersweet news!

 

[goyotes]

Good move for the organization, regardless of condition.

 

[IPreferPi]

No I agree, conditional good news is still good news. Now we just have to hold our breath with COG and RSE.

Dave Tippett has Agreed to a New Contract Extension Pending the Sale of the Coyotes

So Tippett is willing to stay in Glendale with actual ownership but not under league control. He may also be willing to go to Seattle, but probably not Quebec.

It's good news, but it's pretty much what we all suspected all along.

 

[Sinurgy]

Well that qualifier stings a bit but still good news! Well at least for Coyote nation this counts as good news. I mean c'mon who are we to expect FULL ON good news?!?! That's just asking for way too much.

Doug and wolf just said that Tippett has agreed to a new contract pending the sale of the team! Bittersweet news!

Why now? His contracts expires in a few weeks, why not just wait it out until then. UNLESS he has some inside info that we don't.

 

[TickleMeYandle]

I read this and can't help thinking "so what?"

I don't think there was ever a question that he WANTS to stay here, or that he wasn't going to get a decent deal to stay. It all hinges upon the sale of the team, which is as it has always been.

 

[PhoPhan]

This is tangibly good news. I don't think Tippett would have bothered to negotiate a deal if he didn't think some kind of resolution were imminent.

 

[RABBIT]

The thing that sticks out to me is the fact that by doing this, hes has essentially taken himself off the market. He basically has a deal in principle, they are just waiting to put a signature on the paper. That tells me right there that he has more faith than not that the Coyotes are staying. He obviously knows more than us and the media, so I think this is encouraging.

"@RealKyper: #Coyotes contract offer to Dave Tippett pending sale of the team, believed 2 be similar to #Rangers agreement with Alain Vigneault. 5yr 10M"

"@azc_mclellan: Tippett and Maloney have had good conversations in recent days, but they weren't far off on a deal a few weeks ago. Not much is new."

 

[TickleMeYandle]

I know a lot of us thought the same thing after Doan signed, only to be disappointed. So I'm still under the assumption that if it happens, it happens...but until there is a presser of Bettman handing over the keys, it's not happening.

Phoenix Coyotes and Dave Tippett continue to work on new deal

5 years sounds right. That lines up with Maloney's new deal.

Reports indicate that Dallas will hire Lindy Ruff as coach. If that happens, and if the Rangers and Canucks follow through on Vigneault and Tortorella, respectively, there is no where for Tippett to go.

Source: #Coyotes & coach Dave Tippett have reached a deal in principle on a new contract. May have an official announcement as soon as today

Keeping Tippett is obviously a major coup for the #Coyotes. RSE views him as critical to the $ bottom line, as well as on-ice coaching.

As I wrote Tuesday, ownership was not a hold-up for Tippett. He became comfortable with the direction of negotiations earlier this week.

Tip's signing will also be a major boost to the #Coyotes' attempts to sign their own free agents (notably Mike Smith) as well as outside FAs

All that was holding up Dave Tippett's new deal were legal issues & NHL approval. Those issues have been resolved.

Tip's deal is believed to be similar to Alain Vigneault’s 5-year, $10 million contract with the Rangers.

Should have story posted soon but #Coyotes coach Dave Tippett has agreed to a multi-year contract extension to stay with the team.

According to a league source, Tippett has not signed the deal yet but will do so soon and an announcement on the contract is imminent.

Tippett's impending contract is NOT contingent upon the sale of the team. He is sticking with this franchise wherever it lands.

With other vacancies running out and #Coyotes pretty much down to two options (Glendale or Seattle), made sense Tippett would stay.

TSN has it too. Glad to see he's back and hope he gets a Jack Adams and a Cup.

No word on term length yet I take it?

Busy a.m. DAL announces Lindy Ruff as coach, Dave Tippett commits to 5 yr deal with PHX, AV introduced in NYC. Everything is happening.

Someone's being an ******* on Wikipedia or entirely prescient. Tip is listed as head coach of the Seattle Sasquatch.
I'm sure someone will update the page shortly.
