   HAH the Coyotes will never come back. Alex Meurelo is taking his billion dollars and fucking off. He made out like a bandit with that sale. Seethe in pain, Arizona.

   the coyotes should have left a decade ago. Don't blame the owners. They flopped when the league had to take control of them in 2007

   Hockey will never work in Arizona. Quebec or nothing.

   I have some harsh truths to mention, not to kick you while you are down – just some obstacles and realities that need to be addressed in order to actually get a future NHL team back in Phoenix.

   Winnipeg waited 15 years for a new team (1996-2011)

   I get that Phoenix is one of the top ten largest cities in America (10th – 4,845,832 population).

   I also realize that Houston (5th – 7,149,642 population), and Atlanta (6th – 6,104,803 population) are larger than Phoenix and also don't have NHL teams – those are the cities in the South Phoenix is competing with to get an expansion team.

   I personally feel a 2027 or 2028 date is impossible as of today.

   – Phoenix has no arena.
   
   – The starting bid for land starts at $68.5 million (therefore, the closing bid will be MUCH higher)
   
   The renderings proposed were for an area, practice facility, hotels, restaurants, a casino etc.
   
   – the price tag for the arena is approximately $500 million
   
   – the price tag for the entire district was approximately $3 billion
   
   The parcel of land for auction – North of Loop 101 on border of Scottsdale Road has:
   
   – no existing infrastructure
   
   – no water rights
   
   – no sewage system built
   
   – no road access

   Therefore the total cost to build will ACTUALLY be higher than $3 billion – you still need to build sewage systems, roads, and acquire water rights…those were not included in the $3 billion proposal.

   Between 2013 and 2022 the Arizona Coyotes have lost more money than any other team in the NHL – $115.2 million in losses.

   The Arizona Coyotes are a net loss team since 1997 – meaning the team overall LOST money over the past 28 years – they didn't generate money.

   As of April 2024 Alex Muerelo's net worth was estimated at $2 billion.
   
   – land $68.5 million
   
   – arena $500 million
   
   – district $3 billion
   
   – PLUS YOU NEED ROADS, SEWAGE, WATER RIGHTS….so not $3 billion – actually quite more than $3 billion…..
   
   – plus you need to BUY a expansion team (probably $1 billion minimum)
   
   The last NHL team to sell was the Ottawa Senators for $950 million – the Arizona Coyotes are allegedly being sold for $1.2 billion.

   So….$4,068,500,000

   Four Billion, Sixty Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand – would realistically not be enough money to build this district.

   How is a team that lost $115.2 million dollars ever going to recoup those losses???

   The team was overall at a net loss for 28 years – so realistically how many years would it take to recoup $3 billion?

   One of the lower valued teams – Columbus generates about $30 million a year in profit.
   
   $30 million x 100 years = $3 Billion
   
   $30 million x 135 = $4,050,000,000

   Still not enough to pay for the district and expansion team….

   So Muerelo is NOT the answer.
