Who do you want as majority owner of the Coyotes?

[ClassLessCoyote]

Assuming we mortgage the future for short term bandaids to become a 7-10th place "playoff pretender", for the next few years, I think we'll have no choice but to let Tippett hand pick the new majority owner, or sign him to a front loaded extension which would enable him to purchase a majority stake. Because the problem is obviously not him and something will have to change.

Imagine if Tippett even had control over who the new owner would be and bend to his will. Then this franchise will even have more Tippettbots.

Sure.... but as we discovered bankruptcy courts can do the same thing. Plus he wanted Glendale to pony up even more money than what IA got. With no guarantees to make things whole.

The market would fell more confident of the team staying as no exit clause would be in place.

Still doesn't address Glendale's situation, nor does it assure the franchise could hold its own playing there. Nor does it preclude the current Glendale city council would feel any different about throwing more taxpayer money at Jamison and coming up with a way of killing that lease like they did with IA.

Also.... given how Jamison saddled the Sharks with a deplorable TV contract while he ran things there, I don't share your optimism that he could suddenly make everything come out rosy.
