Don't get ahead of yourself; no one took the article as gospel. Bouw said it was fiction, two people asked for sources that dissented from the original article. No one has taken either side on this latest article except him.

BOOM! Told you it's going to happen on Monday!

“@cmorganfoxaz: It's official. #Coyotes sale has closed with NHL Board of Governors approval.”

Attorney Craig Tindall, who was waived by Glendale in the spring, now is starting for the Phoenix Coyotes.


Free parking at Westgate may cost Coyotes

It's their new money-making technique. Pay-per-video.

Gotta make money somehow!

So, five more years?

Coyotes still in Phoenix with a new owner and RIM being bought out at less than $10 a share.

Who would have predicted this 4 years ago.

If the Coyotes had to survive on the open market, they'd have been gone 4 years ago.

And?

They aren't on the open market, neither were the Flames in the 90's, a period they wouldn't have survived either.

Phoenix plays two pre-season games in Glendale, and five on the road. Have they limited home pre-season games in the past?

Perhaps they can get more games by traveling to Western Canada.

It's called 'exclusivity'; make yourself more scarce (in this case, at the Coyotes' arena) and more people will come to the games that you do actually play in Phoenix.

Brilliant!

Pretty similar structure as in previous years by the looks of it

[DoubleK]

I actually like the way their roster looks. They should have a reasonable chance of being the 7th or 8th seed.

At the mid-point in the season, how are things going under new ownership?

Glendale fiscal forecast grim
http://www.azcentral.com/community/g...cast-grim.html

Glendale has earned national headlines for its financial woes, which began with ill-timed investments in hockey and baseball venues. Already deep in debt, the council agreed to pay $50 million to the National Hockey League to keep the Phoenix Coyotes in town and in July signed a $225 million deal to have the team’s owners manage Jobing.com Arena.
Duensing’s forecast shows that the Coyotes deal will cost the city an estimated $8.1 million next year, after revenue associated with the deal.

Councilman Ian Hugh, who voted against the July agreement, said the Coyotes deal pushed the already-struggling city over the edge. There is no easy fix, he said.
