Sounds like Brian Burke to me, former West Coast NHL executive who still has an active position in the NHL.

Can you own one team and GM another?

A 7 year commitment seems a little excessive. Four or five years should be good enough. If the attendance doesn't respond in 5 years with a good ownership team, it never will.
Like someone else said, the Gaglardi's sound like they could be the party. They were interested in the Stars and are probably still smarting from losing out on the Canucks, where they got swindled. Maybe Burke is involved with them too.

Draft Pick
|
With the team in Glendale, I don't believe PHX is a viable NHL market. Have been to games down there and you can get a ticket for next to nothing and sit anywhere. The Coyotes lose $20 to $40MM a year and the arena is in the wrong location. Hardly anyone in the city I talked to could name a single player. The NHL is just not on the radar. It is a huge turn-around project to say the least. Without massive tax payer subsidies or an out clause for relocation, I doubt anyone would be willing to take the risk from a purely business standpoint.

I doubt it. He'd have to give up his position with the Leafs if he was involved I'd gather.

A $40 million to $50 million contribution by Glendale towards the purchase could avoid a lawsuit promised by the Goldwater Institute watchdog group.
Why? How?

The issue wasn't the amount of money, it was the source of the money (ie: public funds).

They seem to be okay with the annual $25M Glendale donates to the NHL.

They had a reason for that, but it escapes me what it was.

Goldwater has issues with the $25million, the Bonds, the sale of the parking rights (that the city might already own), and the arena management contract. They have stated that until a sale is officially in place they won't be taking the $25M to court as they wish to take issue with everything concerned in the deal at once.

It says a minority owner of another NHL franchise not an active member of management

Why would Darryl need to mortgage his ranch? If I was looking to buy this team, I would start by asking, "So, how much are you going to pay me to take this over?"

BS - No sane businessman would commit to 7 years in phoenix. The team is doing well on the ice and its still a losing situation by a long shot. I really wish I could push a button and make this all go away.

Apparently all negotiations go to the NHL first.. not Glendale this time around.

Did Brett Wilson eventually get part of the Predators? If so, I could see him being behind this.
