Dr. Who Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 8 minutes ago, Nextmanup said: So, if I were king, I'd make Terry Pegula wear a big cowboy hat with that number emblazoned on it for a month. For sure, I'd make him wear it to Las Vegas for the 2024 Draft. Maybe Jack Eichel would come up to him and say "hi." I bet he'd fire Don Granato then, and maybe hire a real GM and coach. Or sell to someone who gave a damn, but most likely that would be someone who'd want to move the team to Atlanta or Portland or somewhere else more deserving of a dozen years plus of missing the playoffs.

Link: https://t.co/wvc66RJpT9 https://t.co/mI98R6GEU8" / X (twitter.com) of everything I’ve read on potential plans for the coyotes arena situation, this makes the most sense: Quote Many questions remain, but one stands out: with all of this is happening behind the scenes, why did the Coyotes release arena renderings and a strongly worded commitment to Arizona last week? Perhaps the answer is that Meruelo intends to win the June 27 land auction and develop that sports and entertainment district in the hopes of luring the NHL back to Arizona with a future expansion franchise. Sources said part of the agreement to sell now could include language that would allow Meruelo to ‘reactivate’ the Coyotes franchise in future years, including name and trademarks, if a new arena is built and terms and conditions of the agreement with the NHL are met. they can’t keep playing in this little 4000 seat arena that doesn’t even have proper locker rooms for the players. It’s making it impossible for the coyotes to operate like a true NHL team. The NHL has been abundantly patient with Arizona and this arena situation. They’ve had multiple different proposed arena locations fall through over many years now, and now the latest one seems to yet again be under attack by Arizona politicians (the mayor this time, who made the new proposed location sound doubtful). Arizona has made and is making it extremely clear they have no interest in keeping the coyotes. i feel bad for Arizona fans, and as a Buffalo fan who knows what it’s like to live with the fear of losing your teams, I never root for relocation. But this situation is unique. They literally don’t have an home arena and haven’t been able to get one done over many years now. Even the Arizona voters have rejected numerous arena proposals iirc. If/when they ever actually get an arena built and ready to play in, then allow them to get an expansion team (although I’m not crazy about the idea of more expansion teams though). 19 minutes ago, muppy said: well folks. only 3 regular season Sabres games left this year UPCOMING EVENTS.

I don't like to see relocation either as no fanbase deserves to lose their team. Like you said the Coyotes can't continue playing in an arena that holds around 4,000. I am surprised Houston hasn't gotten a look for an expansion franchise. Big market and they would have a natural rival already in place with the Stars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time 16 of 21 teams got in (76%.) With 32 teams, only 50% of teams get in. That's the lowest percentage in league history. 44 minutes ago, Chandler#81 said: Current record is 37-37-5.

Nextmanup Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'm holding off comment until the day after the season ends. If Granato isn't fired with 24 hours of the season ending, we'll officially know where we stand with Pegula at this stage of his ownership. He still might surprise me and fire Granato, but I don't think he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 https://theathletic.com/5404392/2024/04/10/sabres-playoffs-drought-streak/ Quote But the Sabres will enter the offseason with a lot of questions to answer. The first will be the status of Granato, who is now the sixth-longest-tenured coach in the NHL and the longest-tenured coach who hasn’t made the playoffs. He’s been with the Sabres for more than three full seasons. Only six coaches in NHL history have coached more games without making the playoffs than Granato has.

BillsFan4 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 2 hours ago, BillsPride12 said: BRUTAL their current 13 years streak is 2 or 3 years longer than any other team in NHL history. Both the oilers and panthers hit 10 year streaks. Some say the panthers streak hit 11 years but that’s counting a season they were inactive. So I say 10 is more accurate. https://champsorchumps.us/drought/longest-nhl-playoff-drought#tab-drought-historic the one constant that entire 13 years? Ownership. Hard not to pin a lot of the blame for it on them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
