How Much Longer For The Coyotes in Phoenix?

Teams actually need to fold IMO, and this should be the first one. The next one should be Atlanta. Then maybe you can talk about relocation, but we all know this isnt going to happen, just what should happen.

So I had this dream recently.... Gary Bettman sees the writing on the wall and needs to find a way to increase revenues to ride out the recession. So he decides to move quickly and allows Phoenix to be bought by Basillie in early June and moved to the GTA for next season. The GTA team needs a player to sell and come to Murray asking for Spezza.

Murray thinks about it and decides he'll make a deal for his team first and the league second.

Spezza on the GTA team with Gretzky could boost revenues and push the cap up or in the least keep is steady for the next few seasons. Oh ya don't forget about a a new born rivalary.

The GTA team gets a name player and Ottawa gains cap relief to get a Jay-Bo, youth to off set loosing spezza and a 2009 1st.

Ah what a dream, too bad it will never happen.

I think Phoenix was wondering where the linkage was since your post stood alone, no quoted material. Were you suggesting his "dream" was a "sketch comedy"?

All I am suggesting is that Billy Van is a comedy genius. There aren't any hidden meanings or otherwise.

Just a random comment in the middle of nowhere...

It must be Friday.

A white knight in the Yotes' backyard? The Arizona Republic reports Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf who has a home in Phoenix, may step up.

Bickley: Reinsdorf to rescue cash-strapped Coyotes?

by Dan Bickley - May. 5, 2009/The Arizona Republic

Whispers on the wind: Jerry Reinsdorf may be interested in purchasing or investing in the Coyotes.

This is interesting.

Reinsdorf has a home in Paradise Valley. He has connections with the city of Glendale, having brokered a deal to move his baseball team out of Tucson and into the new Camelback Ranch facility. One of his attorneys, John Kaites, is an Arizona lobbyist who has done business with Glendale city manager Ed Beasley.

Reinsdorf is also a super shrewd businessman, which raises a significant question: Why would he be interested in a team that many business leaders in town wouldn't buy for $1?

Answer: Reinsdorf would have to get serious concessions from the city to make it work. And then he could attempt to become the first owner in sports history to win championships in the NHL, the NBA and Major League Baseball.

Reinsdorf has won six championship with the Bulls, courtesy of Michael Jordan, and also won a World Series title with the White Sox. The late Bill Davidson won titles in the NBA (Pistons), the NHL (Lightning) and the WNBA (Shock).

Reinsdorf's camp had not returned a phone call. Meanwhile, the Glendale city council scheduled an executive session this afternoon regarding the Coyotes' lease, and don't be surprised if there's a Gary Bettman sighting in town.

Stay tuned.

Reinsdorf is said to be one of the most successful and influential among all owners of North American pro sports franchises.

His bio makes for fascinating reading.

I fail to see the connection.

Money, name to sell the team right away in Southern Ontario, and a new look.

Do you think they'd need Spezza to sell it in Southern Ontario? Sean Avery could be their poster child and it will sell-out.

Heh heh.
