My posts update funny…i feel like Bettman owns this debacle top to bottom. Had he taken his head out of his ass, the team would’ve relocated years ago and probably been in a more stable situation.NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and his deputy Bill Daly reportedly met with the Coyotes' ownership group about a month ago and told them they could "pursue the new arena for Coyotes 2.0, but we're in a position here where we can't allow this particular iteration of the team to continue any longer,"
So listening to Friedman on Sportsnet, the league is “buying” the Coyotes from its current owner and giving him 5 years to prove he can build an arena in Arizona. In the meantime they are “selling” the team to Utah. So IF Meruelo can build an arena in that 5 year window, then the league is expanding?…to an uneven number of teams…again…?
The NHL plans to expand the league to 36 teams by the end of the decade. Houston and Atlanta are the frontrunners for the next wave of expansion which will likely occur in the next couple of years according to league sources. Then another expansion will take place by 2029 which would then give priority to Arizona if an arena deal is secured, plus another market (Kansas City, Portland or Québec).If the old Coyotes can come back, I’d be shocked if another expansion team would be coming as well.
Simple, he figured out how to open that puck and stretch the reach of a sport that doesn’t translate well to TV and has little tradition in many areas of the U.S. The longest-serving commissioner in the four major North American sports leagues, at 30 years on the job. Growth is Bettman's hallmark. League revenues, about $400 million when he began, were around $5.3 billion last season. Bottom line, he has made every team owners richer What's not to like?Really hard to understand what the Board sees in him.
Fuck that. Thirty-six teams is way too many.The NHL plans to expand the league to 36 teams by the end of the decade.

I agree but that's where the league is headed unfortunatelyFuck that. Thirty-six teams is way too many.
