GWI unmoved by McCain's support of deal.
Alas, there’s the rub. Drop the price, and the NHL owners won’t get back most of the money they have already invested buying the ’Yotes out of bankruptcy and keeping them safe from the clutches of the evil Jim Balsillie. Plus, in a league in which there are multiple distress sales in progress right now, and in which franchise equity (as in all pro sports) is a big part of the ownership equation, finding out what the Coyotes are actually worth in Glendale would be in no one’s interest.
Strong point.
You add the Canadian owners and the American owners and that would be everybody who pays his salary, which is why Bettman will not surrender – at least not until the Coyotes’ playoff run is complete, and they have sold the last deeply discounted ticket, the last hot dog and beer to the tiny core of loyal fans.
Come playoff time, it would look silly on the NHL and Glendale if their (Coyotes) games were not sell outs.
