http://www.azcentral.com/story/news...lendale-proposed-coyotes-arena-deal/30578215/

A reduced management fee
The fee the city pays to IceArizona, the team's owner, to manage the arena would be reduced from $15 million to $6.5 million annually.

A 2-year deal
The agreement would terminate on July 30, 2017. The original deal was for a span of 15 years, or until 2028.

Tindall and Frisoni iced
As part of the deal, Coyotes general counsel Craig Tindall and Julie Frisoni, who had done consulting work for the team, cannot be employed in any way by the Coyotes. Tindall is Glendale's former city attorney and Frisoni is a former deputy city manager. The two were at the heart of the conflict-of-interest argument that the city was using to attempt to end the deal.

So basically the Coyotes are moving in 2 years.

Lamoriello on his fit in the front office: "I report to Brendan. And the other people report to me."

Oh my.

 

[Jblanks]

Oh my.

That's usually how it works, which is good because Shanaban is all about that proper rebuild.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Maybe Sequin and Del Zotto are paying to be in it?

I loved Goon so much. Kind of by default the second best hockey movie ever made.

Pretty sure there are in fact three Mighty Ducks movies so Goon would be #4 at best. And since it was terrible, it's only in the top 10.

Smh.

 

[MetatronM]

So basically the Coyotes are moving in 2 years.

The expansion teams join in 2017-18, too, right?

Surely a coincidence.

Surely.

 

[yyzjohn]

Oh my.

There's no way Lamoriello can make any significant move without Shanahan signing off. He's here for a short time to pass on his knowledge and culture building then be rides off into the sunset.

only concern I have is that till now I basically trusted Shanahan to listen to Dubas since he was his guy. Now we have Lou in between Shanny and Dubas and I don't know what the dynamic will be. but hopefully they will all keep communicating and make decisions as a group like they've been doing.

The reading comprehension on this page is outstanding

This is why the Canadian economy is in the shitter.

I'm excited for SFV. Been watching some Beta Streams on Twitch

Can't wait to see Birdie and Cammy in action on Saturday

 

[kingslunk]

CMON LET ME THE FUCK IN I WANNA PLAY SOME SF5

Blaming national problems on immigrants is, I suppose, something I should have expected from an American.

Suspect in morning OC Transpo Bus stabbing has been arrested. The name of the Accused is not being released at this time. ^JMc

WTF

OC Transpo gets even worse.

 

[kingslunk]

BTW Haven't seen acid in awhile that dude still around?

 

[Socreges]

Hope so. This is the Sharks' year

It was me

Smh.

Did you just rate a Mighty Ducks movie over Slapshot?

The first one was mediocre. The second was dumb. I didn't bother with the third.

 

[Acid08]

School got me 2busy. Also just not on GAF much anymore in general.

Good luck with school man.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Good for Glendale and the Yoties to get that sorted. Now you can continue to be a stain on the league without as much off ice drama.

Mighty Ducks 3 sucked ass.

Slapshot is the best hockey movie.

Well... the city can opt out in 1 year lol

 

[Plinko]

Enough time for Seattle to get an arena situation under control?

That way the NHL gets relocation fees plus the expansion fees for QC and Vegas.

 

[zroid]

huh, ACC getting $10M in upgrades. that's cool

 

[Merguson]

Toronto Sun never failing with their front page.

 

[DopeyFish]

Does that include the new jumbotron currently under construction?

Edit: just read that the jumbotron IS the $10 million upgrade lol

I miss you acid

I hope they do.

haha yeah. apparently there's some other cosmetic shit too

 

[Merguson]

Fire Mike? Just the kind of scenario that local hockey media would put to the incoming general manager during his introductory session at the Air Canada Centre Thursday. “Mike hasn’t coached a game,” Lamoriello objected. “I haven’t been here a day. And you’re trying to make trouble. Next question.”

loool toronto media

The media made an offer Lamoriello refused.

I love the Toronto media.

Well you couldn't plan a window around when I'm going to be on vacation better. Too bad I'll be in tobermory and not at home.

Fun facts

Shanahan is the Leafs' President --

Their Director of Player Personnel is from his junior team;
Their GM is from the team that drafted him;
Their Head Coach is from the team where he won the Stanley Cup.

I just hope this doesnt turn into some weird revenge plot

As revenge he got them all jobs with the Leafs?

My Uncle just gave me an OG Xbox. With Jet Set Radio Future.


Awww yeaaa

 

[Parch]

Leaf fans thrilled when they signed Shanahan, backflips when they got Babcock, now jumping for joy by getting Lou.

When are they actually going to get some hockey players?

When they flip Phaneuf for Benn and Seguin.

 

[Osorio]

Good luck to Lou in Toronto. As much as I love the guy, he's been lackluster in the post- trap era.

Maybe a new setting will reinvigorate him.

 

[Samyy]

Who knows Parch, getting players appears to be difficult, I mean, the Oilers haven't been able to find any in the past 8 years.
