Bruno Gervais ? really ?
I honestly don't know who they'll sign for that much money oO. But yeah, I hope they do that, it'd be hilarious.

Damn! That's Wideman money!
Congrats, Kings-Age!
Nash's trade value just dropped even further with this Nash trade.
I hear Tyson Nash is trying to make a comeback.

Boy did Radulov pick a bad time to go to the KHL.
Isn't he making like 8-9 mil a year over there?

The only way to get Weber this year is trade. Nash will match any sheet, and any sheet over a year keeps him in Nashville

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

And then Weber walks as a UFA on July 1st to join Suter

So? They're desperate right now.
At least one year would make him familiar with the franchise and push for a possible extension.
Uhhh....

Give up 4 1st rounders for the chance that Weber wants to sign long term ?

I think we should discuss the fact that Kessel was 6th in points last year with Bozak and Connolly as centers. Remember when people laughed at him finishing in the top 10? WHAT NOW?!

Lol...I think by his track record alone it's clear Holland doesn't care about first-round picks.

Not sure if your serious, probably not, but Max cap hit is just under 10 mill

Well for one thing in 2 years time he'll walk and sign with another team.

I'm not.

yeah didnt think so haha
After Wideman I thought someone desparate would give Carle $6 mil for 7 years.
Nope, maximum cap hit per player as of the 70m salary cap is around 14m a player. In 2010-2011, it was close to 12m a player.

Yeah, the real numbers where they bled $24 million last season and was by far, the least profitable team in the league. Even sad sack Columbus managed to bring in an extra $10 million over Phoenix.

Come on, you're using factual real numbers. They're talking about "real numbers," which are much more applicable in this situation.
Seriously, the more I read about this Coyotes situation the firmer I am in the stance that I never want to visit Arizona.
btw there's about 40 people collecting signatures for the referendums
they need 1800
2 of them (the main people in the case vs glendale) have 700
if the rest of the volunteers just had 30 signatures each, they'd hit the target
kind of hoping they come up with 5-10,000 just for kicks

Isn't that a bit late for an NHL team to be moving?

I have to imagine that Quebec already have the systems in place to move very quickly in the event the Coyotes get moved.

Can we just fucking move that god damn team already, I'm so tired of this fucking circus every god damn year. They're failing. No on there likes hockey. Fucking move it somewhere that people give a fuck.

Wow. The Coyotespac site checks your IP and rickrolls you if you're viewing from Canada.
What a fucking joke.
What a fucking joke.
That's actually pretty funny :lol
Gary Bettman's mandate as commissioner of the NHL is to expand the business/game. Canada cannot be expanded any further. A team in Quebec brings more money to the owner that buys them, and would bring a temporary bump in revenue to the NHL, but it doesn't expand the NHL "consumer" base.
Every new fan/"consumer" they can get out of PHX is a new fan watching the game and a new fan buying merchandise.
It doesn't make long term fiscal sense to move it to Quebec unfortunately and doesn't match his mandate. He will try to solve the problem in PHX from every angle possible until there's absolutely no option but to move. If another American market opened up, PHX would have been moved a long time ago.
It's the same sucky situation you see with console manufacturers right now. They focus on developing their hardware and direction to attract new consumers at the sacrifice of existing consumers because they know those consumers will still purchase their product.

Then don't move it to Quebec, move it to another new American market that would probably welcome hockey like Seattle. Don't keep it in a place where people only go to games when tickets come free with their 24 packs of Bud.
Is Seattle ready for a franchise to move today, or are they a future solution?
SpectreFire

They're a future solution unfortunately. Quebec's first in line for the next franchise, whatever it may be.

Isn't there a lawsuit in Quebec over the new arena?
Seemed like you answered your own question there on why it's still in PHX.

B. Scheen might develop and become a good player, but Nash has already shown he can produce at the NHL level. I would always trade potential for an established player.
