Speculation: New Arena/Management Update

[CLW]

Ahron Cohen is the best president this team has EVER had.

Period

No doubt. But he doesn't need to tell us porkies either. I do think the team has a good team spirit, but grit etc leaves a lot to be desired.

It would be interesting if Doan is part of the next ownership group.

Cannot wait for his little chat with Chayka in a coffee house early one morning.............

 

[Lilhoody]

There was an interesting article in the Athletic about the Talking Stick reno. A paragraph or two talked about the Coyotes and how the reno wasn't going to make the arena suitable for hockey; adding, exterior walls and the foot print would have to be changed to accommodate hockey.

Doan is too classy for that.

Absolutely but he will get rid of him all the same ha.

Like I said Doan is too classy for that, and I don't think he would be the one doing such a deed, if indeed they think Chayka is garbage. Chayka has done a lot of good for this franchise, and he also has done some bad, just like every GM out their. There are two things Chayka does not have and that is experience and a good budget.

Agreed, I don't see Doan firing Chayka out of spite, he is better than that. Besides, Barroway should have done it and I am pretty sure it was Barroways idea. In any event, new ownership will bring in their own GM who will bring in their own coach.

That is usually what happens, but Chayka might survive, if he accepts a lesser role, which he probably won't.

Actually, I could see him accepting an assistant GM role or still be GM but without the power, meaning somebody above him makes the key decisions.

Doan as part owner?! come the F on guys..

Hey, maybe he was really good at investing...or maybe those Air Conditioning and Credit Union endorsements were more lucrative than we think....nahhh, probably not.

Edit: ok I had to google it - estimates of his net worth seem to be around $40M.

 

[doaner]

Where’s that one guy who had info and then disappeared. What a troll job!

We still owe him money because we deferred his contract. Maybe he'll take shares for equity in the amount due

 

[Alberta Yote]

Every day I can better understand why it is so difficult to find anyone who really wants to own this team

Doan would be a minority owner and would require little capital on his part. It's the intangibles he would bring to the organization.

It's nothing to do with the team and all to do with the ownership. IF this team had what Vegas has as an owner this franchise would rock.

Hes still around. Posted last week.

No, I don't think he is. Can't mention names, but my daughter met a Coyote FO member at the ASU game last week and he said basically the same thing. The arena deal is getting closer.

If the low/no-money IceArizona partners could be investors in an ownership group, Doan certainly could. He spends more on feed for his horses in a given month than some of the IA partners spent every year as "owners."

Latest from Pagnotta (The Fourth Period)

These rollercoaster ownership negotiations involving the Arizona Coyotes are back in familiar territory.

Just when it appeared Coyotes owner Andrew Barroway was inching closer to selling the franchise and talks had, as I was told at the time, sped up, it seems they’ve hit a wall, once again.

A sale involving the Coyotes is not considered imminent, as of today, and while the wheels are definitely in motion, progress has slowed.

One bright side in all of this: I can confirm there are at least two separate groups/parties with legitimate interest in purchasing the Coyotes and keeping them in Arizona (providing they can secure a new building after the fact).

It’s clear Barroway will be out as majority owner of the club when all is said and done, but it’s unclear as to when a sale will actually happen.

There are concerns over how much debt Barroway and the Coyotes have taken on – a figure now around $300 million – and how much of that/the returns will/won’t be paid back to its lenders.

By all accounts, what I was told in early-December may be most accurate and that is the “hope” around the NHL is a deal gets done by the end of the regular-season.

Senators have busy eight weeks ahead — The Fourth Period

 

[RemoAZ]

I wonder what this team pays in debt service? I bet if we had an owner that could actually afford the team without financing the whole damn thing they'd be able to run it without a subsidy.

He’s back peddling. Not good.

Yes, the league could simply collectively pay off the debts in the effort to make the team solvent.

There's no reason to do that when Houston or wherever is willing to do that for you.

Not really..... he stated earlier that what was expected to be a January sale is looking more like the end of the season. Doesn't really come off that here.

Biggest news is there are two groups, not just one, looking to buy in even with the contingencies involved.

I don't think it will be Houston. Fertitta has gone all in with the U of Houston Cougars. I see no reason to believe it's just a negotiation ploy; I think he's out for a period of years.
