    Time running out in Arizona?

    On the heels of the winter BoG meetings this week. TSN's Darren Dreger suggests it's almost time for the rubber to hit the road.

    It now appears ownership across the NHL is reaching the ends of its rope with the Coyotes, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.

    In a radio interview on Wednesday on Overdrive on TSN1050 in Toronto, Dreger indicated that some people around the NHL’s higher-ranks are fed up.
    “Powerful owners that I’ve talked to in the last couple of days, maybe they don’t stand up in the room and stamp their feet and say ‘enough is enough,’ but they want a real hard read this season as to where this situation is at in Arizona,” he said. “They want an arena deal in place at the end of the season, or it’s time to move on.”
    Suggests they can try and work out a deal with the Suns. That's almost impossible. Talks between the Suns and the City of Phoenix over renovations to Talking Stick Resort Arena are at an impasse and that's without the Coyotes. Makes it even more difficult with another mouth to feed. Plus there will be a city election in Phoenix next year.

    According to one league executive, TFP has learned that if the Coyotes cannot lock in a new building “by the start of next season” and be prepared to call that building home for the 2020-21 season, they may be forced to move.
    That will surely create a lame duck season. Houston is ready for a quick move. It will put them in the central which will open up a spot in the pacific for eventual expansion to Seattle.

    Could throw a serious wrench into any plans for expansion into Seattle. I bet Coyotes end up moving there.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Houston would seem more likely.

    Barroway looking for investors for 49% of the team with a 500 million valuation.

    When we bought out Ice Arizona last year, the buyout was valued at 240 million. With new arena plans going nowhere and Barroway already being highly leveraged, it's going to be hard sell. My question is the 500 million valuation a want or a need for Mr. Barroway?

    Still need an arena. Would be nice if there was a local Owner willing to buy the team and build something with Sarver, the Suns, and City of Phoenix. Barring that: it may be time to sell the team to Seattle or Houston, and just expand to the other city.

    Exclamation

    Just get the lead out and move the Coyotes to some place where they get some snow and ice in the winter.
    Radically Canadian!
