Glendale: Still incompetent, and now attemping to wiggle out of the lease (Post 200)

[Jakey53]

they're...

Your correct.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Yeah, the team will move to a new facility in Scottsdale and leave the --------in Glendale high and dry.

I didn't know there was a town called Scottsdale in Quebec!

It's been a long cold winter in The Great White North.

Shoot me straight, we moving or we staying?

It's 50/50 now. Wait two weeks though...and...it'll be 50/50.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

haha

It will always be 50/50

There's another article with a NHL owner (of course "unidentified") claiming the Coyotes will move to Vegas. Must be a slow news day with only one playoff game.

If the Coyotes do move, however, I really hope someone brings to Roadrunners back.

Literally the same article, just quoted the TSN article.

Stopped reading at "There ought to be more NHL teams in Canada", so I literally stopped reading after the first sentence.

This is the guy who had "Sudbury/Thunder Bay" as a possible NHL expansion market. For those unfamiliar, those two cities are more than 600 miles apart.

The NHL (or any sports league) doesn't operate on normal business logic. Vegas is very likely, should the Coyotes end up moving. It will be a market that would love a team that isn't an expansion team, and would come cheaply. It's an escape hatch market.

If normal business logic doesn't matter, then Vegas has no advantage over any other market. If it does matter, Vegas is a loser.

Vegas isn't even a good escape hatch market - pick any of the others discussed. Hell, Milwaukee would even be better, and it isn't even in the conversation. You could move any team to the Bradley center and instantly have higher attendance than Winnipeg.

There definitely should be more teams in Canada. Quebec and Ontario could easily support a team.

Not before Las Vegas, Houston, and Mexico City.

 

[Matzel]

This. I try to not hate all things Canada but ******** like this brings it all back up.

Good. Because individual sports writers do NOT stand for all things Canadian.

And I am not even Canadian...

Could you charge as much per ticket?! (for example - 2015 Jets playoff tickets went for an average price of ~$200/seat)

Wasnt someone supposed to bring back a Bunch of Wonderbars? That would help overcome hatred of all things Canadian.

I'm Canadian, but I can not stand stand most of the sports writers. Most of their columns are so full of ----.

True That. Just how many Canadian cities can support a NHL Team? I really have doubts about QC. Couldn't before. And as the Dollar equal out, as it has. Even Canadian Players rather not play there. Please don't say this City or that City deserves a Team. Can They Support a Team?

Thank You Very Informative.

Mexico City? You can't be serious. QC will get a team before the three you mentioned.

I forgot to mention Albuquerque and San Juan, Puerto Rico too.

QC won't get a team before Las Vegas. Safe bet.
