Jamison originally had the guy who owns Boston Pizza, Mr.Lube and many other Canadian companies lined up for the money, Jim Trevelling is one of the guys on Dragon’s Den (what the US show Shark Tank is based on) and knows good investments when he sees them, furthermore his son is part of the hockey hierarchy in Phoenix already, he took one look at the teams books and backed out of the deal.

Even getting $15 million per year this just isn’t a financially feasible team. With all due respect to you and other Coyotes fans keeping the team in Glendale means that a bunch of people are going to lose money.

All you jealous nay-sayers and haters can kiss my cactus! I can’t wait when all this is said and done. New ownership will bring this franchise to new levels, and all the ice trolls can go spouting all their bs to other teams in financial trouble. I agree this has been a dumpster fire struggle these past years, but hey if your city had the Glendale city council running the show you’d know what true frustration is. I think we can all agree, that this needs to be resolved soon, or move the team to your town whatever. However, unlike previous owner potentials, Jamison is the real deal…….sigh….finally

$300 mil of public money to help a team that no one cares about in a city with one of highest jobless rates in the U.S. yeah that about makes sense.

4200 fan a game! Move this team from a joke market. Ilya Bryzgalov failed this year cuz Phoenix “fans” treated him like a cupcake.

Actually means Goldwater would stop squawking around the 8-10 mill a year. It really is a shame that for all this time and effort that a loyal, albeit small fan base, will lose a team that has played pretty well recently and most of their time there.

So this means, moving forward, any prospective new owners will have to secure at least $20M annually in local public funding in order to obtain NHL franchise rights? The precedent has been set.
