Remember a few years ago when the Coyotes were in danger of moving? Well, it's happening again. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2015/06/09/glendale-schedules-meeting-to-explore-possible-termination-of-coyotes-lease-agreement/ ProHockeyTalk posted:The City of Glendale has scheduled a meeting for Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. ET to discuss the possibility of terminating its current lease agreement with the Arizona Coyotes. In response: http://coyotes.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=770386 coyotes.nhl.com posted:GLENDALE, ARIZONA --- In response to the posting issued this evening by the City of Glendale of a special meeting of council tomorrow to explore the possibility of canceling the professional management services and arena lease agreement between the City of Glendale and IceArizona, Nick Wood, of the Law Firm Snell & Wilmer, outside counsel for the Arizona Coyotes issued the following statement: The Glendale city council has called for a special meeting today to decide if the Coyotes have a home in Gila River Arena, or if they'll have to play somewhere else. While it's possible this just means they move back in with the Suns in Phoenix, it could spell the end of a near-two decade era of hockey in the desert. Quebec City has taken over Winnipeg's spot as relocation threat central, but there's a laundry list of cities that desire an NHL team. Las Vegas, Seattle, Houston, Kansas City - they all want a piece of the action. What happens if the Glendale city council revokes the Coyotes' lease could quell at least one city's desire for a team.

If this ends up with the Coyotes back with the Suns that is probably the best thing that could happen for hockey in Arizona.

On one hand I think it's pretty lovely Glendale is trying to renegotiate (unless there actually was some kind of impropriety). On the other hand it's a loving awful deal for Glendale taxpayers so it would be nice for their sakes if it got blown up.

On the other hand it's a loving awful deal for Glendale taxpayers so it would be nice for their sakes if it got blown up. The current ownership group would use its split corporations between arena/team revenue and arena cost to trigger its exit clause anyway. The council are idiots finally acting in their best interests, instead of being kind of bought and sold. I feel it's in my best interest as a hockey fan if they stay in Arizona and move to where they can be an urban trend, which is how you bring people into a southern expansion franchise.

I'm just curious, what's the cities end game here? They think they are going to force renegotiation or are they perfectly happy to have the arena site empty but available for other development?

Following Coyotes drama isn't as entertaining as it used to be now that the Glendale city manager is no longer a guy named Horatio Skeete.

Is it the same old ancient fossil of a mayor from the last contract voting who basically couldn't make up his mind until the very last vote and second and went with  "ehhh, I dunno... sure? yes? Ugh.

Okay then I'm misremember something here. Do they have a head of city council? I just remember that the last person to vote was loving ancient and was the tie breaker and just sounded sooooooo goddamn clueless.

shyduck posted:It's the Suns arena, and when the Coyotes played there originally, they had a really lovely and expensive lease with such stipulations that all 100% of all concession revenue would go to the Suns and the arena owners. Plus it wasn't built for hockey in mind, think Barclay's Center in Brooklyn. I mean, Barclay's is happening despite Nassau being built for hockey so I don't see that as an impediment. It is interesting that apparently no hockey owner has ever managed a not-lovely lease agreement in the state of Arizona.

You guys are missing out it's got that same sassy mayor as last time. This dude just clearly hates his job and life and bureaucracy so it's very interesting to watch him not even pretend to care.

They tried for years to get an arena deal and even had one approved, but fuckery from local politicians, namely Kate Murray, pretty much killed the plan. Isles had enough and bounced. shyduck fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jun 11, 2015 |

Someone please tell me the Glendale mayor is really just as crotchety and disillusioned as he seems in a likeable way and that he doesn't have some secret/public history of horrible things. I mean how much can you really do as mayor, though.

The sad thing is the Coyotes are due for a jersey refresh next season too. Those things are gonna be some short-lived jerseys. I hope they're not actually good or that'll be upsetting.
