Because they've never been properly supported by Phoenix and a market with 5 million people - largely northern transplants - with a GDP of nearly half a trillion dollars and one of the top 10 tv markets in the USA is wildly attractive. It's too big an opportunity to be worried about a few million dollars here and there for the NHL. In the scenario above, the Muerelo group would sell the team to Ryan Smith for more than twice the value of the franchise, and then Muerelo would pay a nearly billion dollar expansion fee to REJOIN the league. Follow the cash, my dude.

Should do some WWE shit at the draft with this. The Draft is June 28. The auction is June 27. If the Yotes lose the auction, have Ryan Smith casually walk to the podium to make the Coyotes pick. Wait, what's this? He's wearing an NHL jersey that's completely new? Wait, the Coyotes logo is fading out and there's a logo matching the jersey on the board? Why's Karl Malone here!?

Even for you, Brooksie, woof. The cherry-pickers union genuflects to you alone. On a related note, some farmers are very angry.

I think the difference a coach makes is absolutely screaming at us at this point. And let me tell ya, this crow? Fantastic. I was a straight-up detractor of the Laviolette hire, and man, he deserves so much credit for the work he did this year. He helped unlock beast-mode Panarin, he figured out Lafreniere, he seamlessly integrated multiple rookies and new faces (like, we haven't even talked about Will Cuylle's extraordinary rookie year!), he's got the bottom 6 working well, he's even starting to help Kakko crack the code. And the things you're listing - the not getting frustrated by a hot goalie, the blown series leads, the structure? That's coaching, mate.

Playoffs — Who Do You Want/Don't You Want?
LindG1000 replied to Kick save and a beauty's topic in New York Rangers
It's why this week is going to be so goddamn important for us. We have three games against potential round 1 opponents who will be fighting for their lives. Send a message. Bury them. -
I think it's actually really simple. We're not news-worth right now. We've been in the playoffs since St Patricks Day, and the WC2 in the East is a war. Same for the Central. The Rangers win again is a ho-hum story that's been told 53 times and counting. We'll be briefly newsworthy later this week when we set the franchise win record, then clinch the division, conference, and Presidents Trophy, and then it's going to be a wave of stories about how we're going to be a hard out for anyone.

I mean, he and Trouba's elbow one-and-a-half handedly beat the Penguins a few years ago. No sense in Nashing him. Push to shove, I'd say this: I'm not really sure how useful our priors will be. Panarin has never played on a team like this one, and he's literally never played this well. Zibanejad has not been on a team where he wasn't shouldering the entire center load in almost 6 years. The last time Kreider played games with this level of expectation on the team was 2015. I like where all three are right now. Zib and Kreider have more to give offensively - bluntly, so does the Wennberg line - and that is a good thing when other teams will absolutely have to over-key on Panarin and Lafreniere.
