HFB hasn't decided a thing. It's all on you guys.
I'm pretty sure that those negotiating the sale of the Thrashers aren't waiting for a verdict from HFBoards members either...

A couple of questions, regarding how the NHL's administration of Phoenix affects things...
With the NHL owning and running the CoyotesSame idea...
- does the super-majority become 0.75 * 29 = 21.75 ==> 22 votes?
- or does Bettman/Daly get to cast the "Phoenix vote" on behalf of the NHL?
- does a simple majority become 15/29
- or does Bettman/Daly get to cast the "Phoenix vote" on behalf of the NHL?
The article is a little misleading. Unlike the GWI, which had a very real influence on the outcome of the Coyotes saga, Thin Ice was completely irrelevant to the process. For Silver to be trying to take credit for it now is completely dishonest. The Jets failed because the players involved decided the team was no longer viable in Winnipeg, not because of a gang of university professors and the flyers they handed out at council meetings.
Then why did their houses get egged?

Silver probably egged his own house to get attention.
Seriously. GWI used the threat of litigation to stop what they saw as an illegal subsidy under the AZ constitution and was quite successful at it. Thin Ice, while an extremely vocal opponent to what they saw as a misuse of tax dollars, had zero influence on the outcome. Nada. Zilch. Taking credit for what happened now is about as credible as me taking credit for a sunny day because I said I didn't like the rain.
We've already wasted more seconds discussing them than they deserve.
25% percent off now.The latest from Don Waddell: "Until an agreement is signed and approved by the board of governors, it’s never too late but they will have to move very quickly and decisively. Ownership still is committed to selling at a greatly reduced price to anyone committed to Atlanta."
ORLY???
I think they've crunched the numbers and realized that in the long run getting 41 dates of hockey with 15-16k in the stands with an owner paying rent is the best strategy, even if they don't make much off the sale.
the NHL wants to milk this thing for viewer ratings. Think of all the jets fans and thrashers fans who might tune into HNIC during the stanley cup playoffs just to hear news of the jets return to winnipeg.
if they annouce it now, those jets fans might not be too inlcine to watch boston and vancouver go at it.
The League would also have several other options to encourage or compel ASG - including ASG's personal quarantees (similar to those under which the League is suing Moyes, not his estate, for $60M) and possible anti trust action against ASG based on the essential facilities doctrine.
This started on twitter. "one or two posters"?
I bet he has shoes
There isn't going to be an announcement until after the final.
This weekend is a holiday in the States. Tuesday is media day for the Final.
90% of the questions from the Canadian media to gary/daly will be about the thrashers/jets Its gonna be fun to watch them on the defensive and all pissy
Then why did their houses get egged?
