Man, part of me wonders if he put that 5 year clause in knowing he could force Muruelo to be a non-factor by trashing the project in a long play to get an actual owner into Arizona who gives a sh!t.
that press conference was a massive win for Bettman with Muruelo looking completely incompetent as a hockey person
on the flip side, if I’m a coyote/utah hockey club player, I’m loving the media appearances being done by my new owner. He cares about the people. Wants the community to be involved in welcoming (like community businesses and whatnot) and is giving the fans a voice when it comes to the team name.
their colors are definitely going to be close to the Jazz or the same.
