Pretty sure the scam here is the owners are going to try to declare the Coyotes defunct and then call SLC an expansion team while transferring the Coyotes' players and staff wholesale, in an effort to bag a cool $500 million they don't have to share with the players.

If they really try that I have to imagine the NHLPA will file suit

It hurts even more because I am a Tempe resident and ultimately voted against the arena. It was a bad deal and it would’ve almost certainly destroyed my neighborhood and community. It sucks rear end it had to go this way

We just weren’t able to get ownership that wasn’t massively incompetent or a straight up grifter. Not much you can do about it. I can’t stand that it seems like Mereulo is gonna come out ahead on this too

Don't think the scam is on the players. If they are stripping the team from Mereulo it's Mereulo that gets hosed and the others split the money. The players wouldn't get jack poo poo if Mereulo just sells the team to Smith normally.

Speaking of Coyotes, Josh Doan felt like a "ok yeah Arizona picked him because of who his dad is" but he's got 7 points in 9 games, so shows what I know

See I don't know if they will anymore. Most of the players today probably watched his comeback years as a kid, but I don't think he carries the same reverence as he did even when Ho-Sang wore it. Also I think the league kinda painted themselves into a corner by retiring #99 league wide, but that's a whole separate conversation

It may not mean much right now but I do think it would be wise for the NHL to push for Coyotes' history and stats and all that to stay in Arizona. Just make up a new team if it goes to SLC or wherever else. Owners shouldn't care about that poo poo anyway, and whoever gets the new team can just start from scratch.

The Gila River Arena in Glendale was actually a really sick setup with all the outdoor space and bars/restaurants around, it’s a drat shame the Coyotes refused to pay the rent

It really would not be that difficult to accrue cap hits over the regular season + 30-ish days instead.

Uhh no it would be very difficult considering it's be more like 60-75 days and create a super uneven playing field for playoff vs non playoff teams. It would drastically change how the cap works.

The Coyotes are definitely losing money year after year and if they essentially get a "pause" while they figure out an arena and can get reactivated in 5 years for the same price Merulo gets paid it make good business sense even if it's gross as hell (and probably won't happen anyway)

Yeah I complained when the bolts did the same thing but at the same time, for any instance of such obvious fuckery you're still taking a huge chance that losing a player worth that much of your cap is going tank your season

Like Vegas is barely squeaking in by virtue of how weak the rest of their division is
And they have to unfuck the cap tangle they got themselves into every offseason

Like it's a hilariously obvious circumvention of the rules but nobody is gonna come out and challenge it directly because that's gonna involve questioning the medical professionals associated with the team and that opens up investigation into all the LTIR-retirement circumvention and nobody wants that

And Bettman surely doesn't give a poo poo because hey, the team that just bought it won a goddamned cup - that's some of the best advertising you're ever going to get both for new fanbases and potential new franchise owners

Man, if Houston gets passed up for a team again in favor of Atlanta for a third time and Arizona after this debacle I can only assume Bettman had some sort of lost weekend in Montrose where all he remembers is someone saying “bueno, bueno…” over and over.

They might come out ahead given the expansion rules. Arizona 2.0 may wind up a better team than Arizona 1.0 was for many years.
