Phoenix CVII: Huh, maybe IA doesn't have all the leverage after all
CVII : Throwing the Eviction Bone

Phoenix CVII: Huh, maybe IA doesn't have all the leverage after all
Fact still remains that none of CoG, IA or NHL want this team to move.
So let's not forget the following option:
4. Negotiate the best deal you can get with CoG and continue on with that.
Seeing how this all turned out makes me want to go back through all the original ia posturing.
Like was Tindall one of the lawyers laughing at this lawsuit originally?
That kind of true
Also with the contract 2 years in length. The expansion cheques (assuming to Vegas and QC) will be cashed in to minimize the blow for IA for the 17 Million 'shortfall' (15 Less 6.5 x 2).
If IA needs to sell the team for a wash, they'll be a better position
They chopped the AMF to $6.5 and the lease expires on June 30, 2017
How's that for IA having the leverage
That will put the Vegas post rumor for 2016-17 to bed for good
6 things to know about proposed Coyotes arena deal

So at least 2 more years of this?
We might be onto thread 300 by then.
The yotes can leave next year or what? Someone help me?

This has been a fun reunion! I look forward to the musical chairs over the next couple of years as the Coyotes and hopefully Panthers scramble for new homes with QC and Vegas off the board.
It looks like they can leave after 1 year or choose to stay for a 2nd year, depending on how long it takes to assemble a relocation destination.
Thank You. This seems like giving RayB a reprieve here.The Coyotes are free and clear to leave on June 30, 2017. However, the City of Glendale can find a new arena management company (IceArizona is the current arena manager, hence the $6.5 million AMF subsidy the city pays to the team) after next season with 90 days' written notice, which is almost sure to happen given that Ian Hugh says he has pals who can do the job for a pittance.
What a pleasant sentiment.

What's the likelihood they stay for longer than, let's say, 5+ years?
Thank You. This seems like giving RayB a reprieve here.
I'd say about 1.5%.
They would have to make serious bank on the HRR and the team would have to miraculously become a Cup contender in order for the proposition of staying in Arizona to be on the table. It just seems overwhelmingly obvious that two years is a placeholder until they can arrange an endgame.
This was never about keeping teams out of Canada. It was about protecting markets like Quebec so the league could gouge them for expansion fees. Now that they have, they have no reason to fight for Arizona anymore. Very shady and low class FP.I'd say about 1.5%.

You deserve credit for being right. That meeting between RayB and the League head office was for this.That's it!
Ray B is Plan B!
Add in another possibility- they would have to field in candidates to challenge the mayor and city councilmembers up for re-election and fund their campaigns, then get them to approve a new/old AMF.
