1) The City of Glendale should just let them go. Take that 25 Mil they are going to lose next season and pump it into your local economy. Arizona is one of the hardest hit states by the economic down turn.
2)This thread has focused a lot on viability. Any business man can see that Winnipeg would be a more viable option than Phoenix. You still may lose money (after a few years), but not near as much as you would in Phoenix.
3)I think the Bettman issue is 2 fold a) He doesn't want to admit he was wrong about hockey in Phoenix, and b) The owners must be telling him to put up the best possible shot to keep the team there. If any one of the 29 other owners wanted the coyotes to move, don't you think it one of them would have said something in an interview?
