Last nail in the Arizona Coyotes?

[Profet]

Seems like the Mayor of Scottsdale is opposing the Coyotes land bid.

If they don't get this parcel, how do they stay in Arizona?

JUST f***ING MOVE THEM ALREADY

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Unless they can reach some sort of agreement with the mayor now, or the mayor gets overuled, yeah, it looks like they're done.

 

[Varcus]

Haven’t the fans been through enough. If the nhl owners want this team here why don’t pay the bill for a new arena.

The city has no authority to interfere with the state land auction.

The mayor is having a ifft over a non issue of them using scottsdales utilities and paying for it when its a non issue. Its all setup to use phx ulitites and phx's own water not scottsdale.

As long as Darth Bettman is in charge they'll be there for eternity.

Infrastructure costs are a big portion of any project like this and typically are handled primarily by local government (at least in Canada). So the Mayor not being on board with covering any is a big hurdle.

They don't need city of scottsland approve on ANYTHING. Its not their land its not within city limits.

 

[Captain Mountain]

I thought the last nail was, like, 5 nails ago.

We'll know what the last nail is if they're moved and only after the fact.

Which is required to be paid for by team owner himself as requirements set in order to acquire the land through the auction.

This is false, but Arizona will have another team at some point. With rules that helped Vegas and Seattle (relatively) be successful quickly.

IF the team wins the land they aren't going anywhere.

Last nail? That coffin already has more nails in it than any other material

Bettman would like to secure a couple billion more in expansion fees before moving the Coyotes.

Because billionaires/millionaires didn't get rich from their own hard work/merit, they do it by spending other people's money. If the working class can't subsidize them they will go broke!

 

[MMC]

Man the ratio of people with the desire to participate in this topic to how many actually care to be informed has to be the lowest of any on this site

 

[KrugAvoy]

Should call them the Arizona Cats because apparently they have 9 lives

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Ironic that it might be the lack of water, not ice, that ultimately ends their time in Arizona.

Not always true but a lot of truth in that statement.

By the way, cilantro is disgusting!

Are they going to be drawing water from another municipality, or Scottsdale ?

its all setup to draw from phx not Scottsdale from what i read.

Then you're 100% correct and what that mayor says means nothing .

 

[wgknestrick]

I wouldn't waste the nail on that franchise.

 

[InfinityIggy]

They just need a big bottled water sponsorship and they are back in business. Fiji Water Colosseum.

He's really more of a Dark Helmet, isn't he?
