shyduck posted:Yeah I just have no trust in him putting forth a good faith effort after just being handed a billion dollars. I also have a feeling the league doesn't either This is the same guy that's been owning the team with 23m in LTIR to hit the cap floor. Of course they don't expect him to actually come back in 5 years with a full stadium and desire to run a team again. They'll wait out the clock and if they expand again they'll either find someone else with a bunch of money or put it in Houston and Atlanta instead. E: This actually makes me wonder what's going to happen with those 3 LTIR contracts that are there only for the purpose of hitting the cap minimum. Surely the new owner is going to want to actually put a team on the ice that can compete. Jhet fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Apr 18, 2024 |

They just put a beehive on their flag, they should be the Utah Bees and wear a ton of stripes.

Even if Weber officially retires, i think most of the cap recapture goes to Nashville.

There’s only 2m left to pay on the contract, but that’s not the cap hit on a buyout. I forgot that this was the same group of contracts with Suter and Parise and the epically long terms.

The Utah Beige. And the jerseys can just be beige with "UTAH" on the front in a slightly different color of beige.

shyduck posted:edit: We'll probably have an idea after this land auction in the coming weeks Honestly I highly doubt he’ll win the auction. Anyone that can demonstrate they meet the Arizona State Land Department’s bidding requirements, can show up and compete against him. And there’s almost certainly going to be other bidders given the prime location. He would have had to have done some prep work in order to get it this far, such as environmental surveys, etc., but that’s peanuts to what he just received. So it wouldn’t be surprising for him to place the initial bid and then give up as it goes higher, walking away with his $1B while the parcel goes to other commercial developers. I wonder if he’s allowed to sell the rights to someone else who might actually care about doing something with the Coyotes. My guess is that 5 years goes by and the Coyotes remain a permanent fixture of past history.

soooo what happens if Alex Meruelo can't build a new stadium in 5 years? Will the NHL force him to give the name, brand and logo back to the Utah hockey team? Or is that part of NHL history just going to die out?

I don't like any of the names but I dislike Blizzard least and it would set up Avalanche vs Blizzard as geographic rivals.
