I disagree. Doughty was. Tampa needed a defenceman.

Judge expands bidding for Coyotes to any buyer

Associated Press







PHOENIX (AP) - A U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge has expanded bidding for the Phoenix Coyotes to include potential buyers who would move the team.
Judge Redfield T. Baum ruled Wednesday that all bids, those to keep the team in Arizona or to move it elsewhere, would be accepted for the Sept. 10 auction.He specifically said the $212.5 million offer from Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie would be considered. That sets up another showdown between Balsillie and the NHL, because the league's board of governors has unanimously rejected him as an owner.


Balsillie's bid is contingent on moving the team to Hamilton, Ontario.
Balsillie spokesman Bill Walker praised the judge's for creating a "fair and transparent" sales process.
"It's the best outcome for creditors and for the future of the franchise," Walker said. "We think Jim Balsillie's bid will emerge the winner because it offers the best financial terms and the best market in Hamilton, where hockey fans are thirsting for this team."
But Balsillie's bid faces several major hurdles.
The NHL has made it clear it doesn't want Balsillie as an owner, and the league hasn't ruled on whether it would allow the team to move or what fees would be included to enter territory now claimed by the Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres.
Additionally, Baum has not ruled whether Balsillie can escape the lease the Coyotes have with the city of Glendale to play at Jobing.com Arena.
Baum scheduled a hearing next Tuesday to consider issues that have been raised by his ruling.
An auction had been set for Aug. 5 for potential buyers who would keep the team in Arizona.



But the NHL, Glendale and the two apparent local bidders asked for a postponement to Sept. 10. That raised the possibility of adding bids from buyers who would relocate the team.
Balsillie's bid is by far the biggest.
A group headed by Jerry Reinsdorf - owner of baseball's Chicago White Sox and the NBA's Chicago Bulls - has offered $148 million to buy the team and keep it in Glendale but is still working out details with the city and other creditors.
A third group known as Ice Edge, headed by Canadian and American investors, told the court it intends to submit a bid of about $150 million but was still gathering financing.
Earlier Wednesday, Baum delayed a hearing on whether to find the owner of the Coyotes and his lawyers in contempt of court for publicly filing documents that were supposed to be kept confidential.
Team owner Jerry Moyes opposes the Reinsdorf deal, which would give him little or no money. He supports Balsillie's proposal, which would give him about $100 million.
Attorneys for Moyes posted confidential documents to the public docket last week. The documents were later removed, but Glendale sought the contempt order on Monday, saying the city was "absolutely outraged" by the release of the information.
The Arizona Republic saw the appendix before it was removed.
It showed that Reinsdorf has asked for a special taxing district to be created near the arena that would pay the new owners as much as $23 million next year. And if the team was still losing money after five years, Glendale would have to pay Reinsdorf $15 million for each year of losses or allow the team to be sold and moved without penalty, according to the newspaper.
Glendale contends the release of confidential negotiations would discourage potential buyers from participating and have a "chilling effect" on the sale process.

I can understand the NHL's point here. They need to try at all costs to keep franchises where they are. They can't let owners pick up and leave whenever they want to. Also, putting a team in Hamilton is a bad idea from the NHL's standpoint. The NHL is trying to grow the product and putting a team in Hamilton is counterproductive because all it does is take fans from Ottawa, Buffalo and Toronto and spread them out without drawing new fans. I really think putting a team in Hamilton would kill the Sabres franchise.

The Coyotes haven't made the playoffs since '01-02, and have been 4th of 5th in their division since with their best record being 38-37-7 in '07-'08. If they are staying in Phoenix, they better make some major moves before the season starts to avoid another abysmal year.

I am saying it now to prevent the bandwagon accusations later.

I am rooting for the Habs this year, as I did last year.

I am also rooting for the Islanders and Columbus as both teams really grew on me last year.

Also, its insanely hard to be a Malkin fan and be happy that Pitts won the cup when Crosby is on their team.

Though Crosby gained a little respect in my books by taking the Cup to the IWK Childrens Hospital

I don't get this whole logic of trying to expand your fan base when you have an existing fan base that you can make money off. And we're talking about rabid fans, not casual fans. Why try and make new fans when you have hungry fans ready and willingly to spend their money.

In any business you shore up your base before you make a leap into expansion. Simple, sound business startegy. The NHL needs to stop taking risks and make expansions into safe places as well. All this instant money they covet is beginnning to take a toll on their long term stability.

Poor business management. Bettman is going to be ousted soon I believe.

You obviously aren't a real sports fan, because REAL fans don't have 50 back ups teams. You're a typical bandwagon jumper.

So tell me, besides your favorite team there is no other team that you like or root for?

Also good to see that you can count.

I root for the habs.

The last place team from last season and a team that only made the playoffs for the first time last season.

...Real bandwagon jumper...

Do you think though going into Hamilton would kill the Sabres? Moving the team back to Winnipeg makes a hell of alot more sense than Hamilton. I really don't think they could support a team in Hamilton.

Winnipeg would be awesome for them, sadly the US seems to need 80% of the teams to ensure they win a cup every year.

Um. Hamilton and Buffalo are like 50 miles apart, in different countries and Hamilton is in the denses location of populations in Canada. Buffalo shouldn't be bolstered by Canadian fans that are starving for another team. Ask the people of Hamilton if they would like a team. Isn't it up to them to decide who and where they support. Why is 3 teams in NY OK, never mind Philly, Washington. but not 3 in the Golden Horseshoe. And yeah, another teasm in Winnipeg might work too. So let's move Atlanta out of theior market and set a team back up in the Peg.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane was charged with attacking a cab driver in his home town Sunday, a beating police said was triggered when the driver did not have 20 cents in change to give the player and his cousin.

Buffalo police said the 20-year-old Kane and his 21-year-old cousin, James Kane, had apparently caught a cab from the city's downtown nightclub district at about 4 a.m. ET. The cab driver suffered cuts to his face and his glasses were damaged, police spokesman Michael DeGeorge said.

Both men were charged with felony robbery and misdemeanour counts of theft of services and criminal mischief. Patrick Kane, who earned US$875,000 last season, pleaded not guilty in local court Sunday, WIVB-TV reported. It was not immediately clear when James Kane will appear in court.

The driver said he was punched and hit by both men because he did not have 20 cents in change to give them, according to the police report.

A message left at the home of Patrick Kane's parents was not immediately returned Sunday afternoon. Relatives who answered his grandfather's phone and his mother's cell phone declined to comment and could not say whether either Kane had a lawyer.

A Blackhawks spokesman said the team is aware of the allegations against Kane.

"He is a big part of our organization and a team leader and we stand behind him," spokesman Brandon Faber said. "As we are still collecting all the facts, it would be premature to comment further at this time."

On Thursday, Patrick Kane was at a Buffalo ice rink where he played hockey as a child to help Mayor Byron Brown announce funding for improvements.

He said at the time he was happy to have time "to hang out back home in Buffalo."

"The best thing about it is my friends treat me like I'm a regular kid," said Kane, the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL draft. "They don't treat me like a celebrity or whatever they might treat me like in Chicago."

Kane played his first two NHL seasons with the Blackhawks and had 46 goals and 96 assists. He won the Calder Trophy, given to the league's best rookie, in 2008.

Why is 3 teams in NY OK, never mind Philly, Washington. but not 3 in the Golden Horseshoe. And yeah, another teasm in Winnipeg might work too. So let's move Atlanta out of theior market and set a team back up in the Peg.
I don't think there's enough casual fans who aren't tied down to a team to support it.

Screw Buffalo anyway.

Put a team in Halifax.

Halifax Sabres.

Your argument is pretty weak. Don't allow competition. You are a fricken' communist.

Brining in an unknown quantity, plopping them in Leafs Nation central where you'll get no Leaf converts and have to rely on casual hockey fans to fill the seats and risk destroying a franchise that has been around for 40 years isn't a good idea in my opinion. They would be better served moving to Winnipeg.

It's pretty much just Toronto and Boston you're supposed to hate. Even then it's a suggestion more than anything.

Scared of what? I'm just saying moving to Hamilton makes no sense from the NHL's standpoint.
