2013 NHL Off-Season Thread: Bluefan's Own Personal Crying Game!

[Izzy]

It's taking any page on BG like 60 seconds to load for me tonight. I've been posting on SAS instead of here .

He doesn't plan to fail? Well, I guess he'll succeed then. If he's not planning to fail then what else is he gonna do?

What happened TSN feed stopped

[Deader2818]

4-3 in favor. Coyotes are staying. For now. There is still an out clause I think.

But they still don't have an owner right? This whole thing is just a giant mess.

Raged quit like me. Council, in the end, didn't even know what they were voting on.

And that Chavirez dude...basically just told his fellow firefighters that the millionaire they're giving millions more to is just as much a hero as they are.

Seriously.

My moms mentioned about buying a house down in Arizona...think I'll advise her to just move back to Seoul if she wants to burn money like that.

Pretty sure they filed to have that removed before the voting? The city out clause, not the RSE out clause.

And the shitshow in Glendale continues, for now.

What a joke.

Coyotes stay, get paid 15m by the money that should have been going to fund the police and firefighters.

No one happy except the two thousand Coyotes fans and Gary Bettman

edit: Time for the next stage of "oh god wait there is some horrible hiccup in this deal because of lack of funding/GWI/god we're retarded"

e2: Although the city would owe the NHL like 30 million dollars on the spot apparently if they left so they're kind of fucked either way, this way it will be a long slow fucking.

[NynJa]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[Vaspinne]

This Phoenix situation is so dumb. Are there any Coyote fans in this tread? Because I automatically associate you with this dumb situation

[Cutriss]

Just get the city to buy you a house, seeing as how they're giving money away.

[Palin]

Or just have her move to anywhere but Glendale?

The Coyotes should relocate to Phoenix.

'if....
umm...

thirty eleven police...

i want a hockey...

hard times....

our children...."

So I'll chime in on the Flyers and Lecavalier. You're all making the deal out to be pretty terrible and a typical holmgren contract which is actually not that true aside from the NTC. Look, a veteran of Lecavalier's stature will almost certainly get one regardless of where he signs and the cap hit is 2M less than Danny Briere's for a better, younger version. Sure they're over the cap at the moment, but I'm expecting Couburn or Meszaros or Grossmann to be traded, hopefully meszaros, and when it comes to resigning G and Cooters they're going to be rid of Kimmo's contract coupled with the fact that the cap is most assuredly going to jump up next year. Not to mention if they need to dump Lecavalier, I'm sure someone would easily take on the contract at 4.5m/y.

Pretty sure they filed to have that removed before the voting? The city out clause, not the RSE out clause.

Quoth Deadspin:

The city had pushed for its own out clause, but the league made it known that it would approve no sale that gave Glendale the opportunity to back out.

Translation: "We aren't going to be the ones left holding the bag, guys."
