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

[XX]

Does anyone know how much debt got paid off when Barroway came in?

Nobody knows. All we know is that the debt was refinanced under the cheaper NHL LoC via American ownership. Barroway likely only provided working capital.

Mayor Stanton officially weighs in: http://ktar.com/22/1841702/Phoenix-mayor-Keeping-Arizona-Coyotes-is-important-for-Valley

Yea Right. Trying to get out of the lease on a Very Questionable Technicality. Is not what I would call trying to keep the Team here. Not to mention sending out a message to anyone entering into any type of agreement with the City Of Glendale. Bringing jobs and an increased tax base to the City.

I haven't seen you around these parts yet you have over 100 posts and claim to go to games, you only support hockey when the Canucks are in town? If so, kick rocks.

You expect me to look you up when I'm there? I did meet up with a Coyote fan I met on another board years ago, part of a patio crowd. I believe they called themselves the Coyote 7. Had a great time tailgating with him before the game.
No, I go to whoever is in town when I'm down south during my winter break. If it's the Canucks, that's better, but I go to many hockey games. The Kelowna Rockets, the Calgary Flames when I travel to see my daughter, Vancouver when I visit my mother, and the Coyotes in February/March on holiday.
I'm sorry if I haven't said hi to you. Are you at the door greeting people?

I think you have this confused. Stanson, quoted here, is the Mayor of City of Phoenix. You're thinking Weiers and Glendale.

Stanton is the mayor of Phoenix, not Glendale. He should be the Coyotes next hot date

Next move is for Ownerswhip to be seen dining with the mayor of Phoenix.

Anything interesting come out of any of them?

Still going through them all, haha.

During the Bickley interview, when asked if the team would play in downtown Phx, LeBlanc said, "We fully expect that we will be playing in GRA, but I can tell you that we continue to be strong supporters of this market. This is a tremendous hockey market and we're not prepared to give up on that."

It's not even an option, really. Not unless Phoenix is willing to move quickly on a new arena AND give the Coyotes a significant amount of money/tax breaks/whatever to make up for the revenue shortfall such a move would cause.

Petty gestures by both parties really have no meaning when the team needs a place to play, and that place has to be profitable.

You can play the Northern hate card all you want. But, I go to games in Glendale, and pay for my tickets, so I'm not unfamiliar with the arena.
And I didn't say they were leaving Arizona. Neither does the article. But staying in Glendale looks more and more unlikely. Maybe one more year, but after that, who knows. It's getting to be like a bitter divorce.
I wasn't attacking you, just adding what I read on TSN way up here in Canada.

I'm a 31 year old dual citizen who is born and raised in Calgary, I lived there the first 26 years of my life. My fellow canadians have been absolutely, positively a-holes during all of this (Outside of a few)

So my apologies for labeling you as an a-hole.

You should also be smart enough to understand the source and how that particular reporter is being used by Glendale council member Ian Hugh to spew rhetoric that most Canadians are loving and are eating it all up.

I've actually come to the point of being ashamed that I am born and raised in Canada to this point.

Is there anything in U.S or Az. Law that states that Tindall cannot work for the Coyotes after working for COG? Once COG is no longer paying Him?

Now it is My understanding that Non-compete Clauses have been ruled Unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I understand the fans frustration but again a high percentage of the city of Glendale agreed with this otherwise the city council wouldn't of voted 5-2 for it. I am sure he will continue to get business from those who want that money put elsewhere regardless if its only 2% of their annual budget. Sucks all around to be honest

Nothing like a Glendale specialist who lives thousands of miles away. Usually the talking heads spout they understand the members of the Chinese communist party or the Saudi royal family.

Those of us just a bit closer to the action understand that the entire city was caught by surprise. None of the council members ran on a platform of opening up a high stakes conflict with the hockey team ownership.

This is over shadowing the cup finals and makes the NHL look like the silly sister of prosports
