My gut feeling is this: The team is 100% gone unless Meruelo sells the team to Mat Ishbia and the Suns. I just don't feel they have the competency to get anything done after the Tempe vote.. they miscalculated that entire process and from what I've heard have burned bridges with some of their options.

The league won't say it as they want to give them a chance but I think the NHL will making a call to The Suns owner by the time the season starts next year if no progress has been made by Meruelo. The Suns have a lease until 2037 but I think they can pull off something for 14 years there until Ishbia builds a new shared building for both of his teams... It's better than a college rink but it would definitely be a wonky setup like we used to have here at AWA and Barclays had w/ The Isles.
