After watching the presser at the two points above it’s quite that dynamic. Seems like the owner thinks he has a deal in place to bring back the franchise but all the stars have to align. I truly think he’s seen as a toxic commodity and you can see that from how everyone has treated him here. He may have the rights but I guarantee you people behind the scenes aren’t helping him. When his five year window runs out his rights go out the window and they’ll relocate there with a new owner only once a new owner finally builds a rink. So my guess is nobody will give him the time of day from the city for five years, and no support from the nhl, then a new owner comes in at year five or I so with a proposition to build, it gets done in three years and in 2032 they expand there. Bettman is doing what he needs to appease and get the sign off done to rid himself of this guy but knows his word means nothing as he has no respect from anyone. He can probably keep the franchise name as they’re indifferent if it comes back as Coyotes or otherwise.
