Jep and this is their way of getting rid of him.
He is a stubborn son of a gun. And he will not get help.
So they throw him a bone to get him to sell. But they know that he will not succeed to build an arena or district in time.
And e voila they are rid of him without any major problems.
And they can take about 10 years to find a new owner with deep pockets.
Or get Ishbia to be interested in Hockey and have him build an arena for both the suns and new team.
Overall this whole thing is just a bone for Muerelo. So that he tries, fails and the NHL gets to boot him.
I think this is spot on. The NHL clearly doesn't want to give up on hockey in Arizona, but they have to cut bait with this moron in a way that actually compels him to sell and mitigates future attempts at legal action.
There's basically no chance that this human dumpster fire is suddenly going to get an arena lined up and built within five years, but the NHL now has pretty compelling evidence that they were square with him.
And if it’s year 3 and he still doesn’t own any land? We just wait two more years for it to be up. That’s my only point. Like either shit or get off the pot. They’ve been at mullet for two full seasons and he’s got some plans on the computer and zero land. When I said extend the timeline, I meant timeline for the NHL to get back to Arizona. That’s why I was saying I hope there are some checkpoints for him to hit along the way.
The more time that goes by with no team, the worse it is imo
You have a point here, and for the sake of the 'Yotes fans, I agree that it's a painful process. However, I think the important thing here is to get good ownership, so that when the team returns, it will STAY, and without all of the stupid drama. The first step in achieving that goal is to send Alex Meruelo into the sun.
