"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I tried looking for the source I saw, I can't even remembered how it was phrased or if it was blatant speculation, but apparently Merulo can't even sell the Coyotes 'brand' as part of his agreement with the NHL.
Multiple reports are that:
- Merulo is selling the team to the NHL for $1 bil. So the NHL gets all rights, including the Intellectual Property (logo, "Coyotes name" etc.)
- NHL is then selling core assets (really just the players and contracts) to Smith for $1.3billion. NHL retains IP
This does 2 things:
- allows NHL to profits $300mil to be split by 31 other owners
- allows NHL to retain Coyotes name and IP for either future use back in Az and/or to sell in the interim.
This happened when the Jets moved to Arizona, allowing the Thrashers to become the Jets upon return.
It makes good sense that the NHL wants to keep the name IP for both interim profits and future use back in Arizona.

The Hockey operations are being sold, business side and name will remain here. The Tempe arena vote fail was the last straw. The league no longer wants them playing at Mullett.
GM Bill Armstrong decided to address the team on his own. @12SportsAZ

This isn't necessarily true. The team was successful prior to it's move to Glendale, and was actually relatively successful out of the ASU rink. If you've ever been to Phoenix you'll understand why a shitty team was unsuccessful in Glendale (although even then their playoff teams had relatively successful attendance numbers).
I think Phoenix is a pretty easy market to succeed in, which more points to the sheer level of incompetence every owner there has had.
They've approving it officially tomorrow.

With puck drop approaching in Arizona, there will be a Board of Governors meeting at 3ET Thursday to approve sale of the Coyotes to Utah.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Meruelo wasn't even at the game last night...But I guess he did that because he didn't want to get harassed.
What is embarrassing though is they threw out Doan's jersey retirement banner, and someone had to get it and give it to Doan.
It is also confirmed (not officially though?) that Meruelo's son was operating the teams social media after the team fired the whole social staff, explaining why the team was prematurely posting things, and kinda just generally off. Alex Meruelo Jr was also handed "numerous" roles he wasn't qualified for.
The team cancelled the outdoor viewing party last night, however I believe it was due to weather. But seeing pictures this morning, it looked pretty good out for the people who still went and did their own viewing party.
Then to put the final stamp on an awful management of rumours and the team in general, the social media account tweeted out "See you all next on June27th #YotesForever". Honestly, the way this guy has operated his whole tenor...How will Arizona support a franchise he owns when he exercises his expansion option?

I wonder if... off the record... Bettman said "Just steer clear of any public appearances. Whatever you think you have to say - won't be received well."
As a businessman, this team will both go down as an enormous financial success (once sold) as an enormous failure (in the public's eyes).
Brutal. Meruelo... just brutal. I effin can't stand businessman that fall ass-backwards into $$$. Lucky. The guy got lucky.

Just a little more context on this. Representatives from the city of Glendale indicated they repeatedly contacted the Coyotes management to come get the banner and never got a response. Now, people have rightly pointed out they could have couriered the banner rather than tossing it, but also consider how much dislike/contempt they probably have towards Merulo and probably the franchise. Now that shouldn't necessarily filter down to honored players, but still.

The sale and relocation of the #Yotes to Utah received unanimous support from the NHL's Board of Governors.

NHL Board of Governors are probably partying it up tonight because they will again have 32 NHL teams in 32 NHL arenas.
I would be curious:
how much hockey related revenues were lost because of the smaller arena and the crap show that happened in Arizona the last two years
VS
how much 'new' hockey related revenues were gained between now and the start of the season with the new team.
