What kind of owner is Barroway? How do you fans feel about him? I would love to see Coyotes succeed, but many times in these weak teams all the problems start from the top. And is there any rumours or anything about the new stadium, last news I found were from April or something. If looking at only the roster/prospect pool, Coyotes' future seems bright, but all other things should be more stable.
I think you could get a ton of various responses with this question.
Originally, I think a lot of people were happy with the direction of the team and how things took shape. But maybe that is something that we needed to tap the brakes on. Barroway bought out the rest of the partners to become the primary shareholder for the team. I think that he was intent on improving the team, but some of the other partners may not have shared his same vision. With that, it could be spun in a few different directions.
Is he power-hungry and wanted to be the sole decision maker for the direction to take?
Was the purpose of becoming the primary shareholder b/c there were a few shareholders who were not right for their positions, and it was just taking care of the inevitable?
Could he be the right owner to finally settle the arena situation, and he is bad at the management of a sports team, in general?
I don't know if anyone has the proper insight to Barroway's process or mind, but it does seem very interesting that he was very quick to apologize for things like not talking to Doan when it was decided to not continue forward with him, yet when the team appears to be at its darkest, there is literally nothing mentioned by him to give any sort of reassurance in the process or anything like that. It almost makes him appear to be the "know-it-all" where he managed to buy out the shareholders b/c he knew the direction to move the team in, and he didn't want anyone interfering. Now, that looks like a really bad decision, although still early.
The above is pure speculation on my part, but I just think it is odd that Barroway was pretty upfront about mistakes made with handling Doan, but he is not acknowledging that some of those decisions have maybe not gone as well as planned and there is an element of silence about those decisions. I think he had good intentions, but sometimes good intentions don't work out.
