I think he'll leave just like Whitney (who cited the uncertainly as one of his reasons for leaving), which is unfortunately for the Coyotes and their fan base.LDvSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144101161300155170.post-33945343845599516762012-07-12T21:56:56.416-04:002012-07-12T21:56:56.416-04:00Cobb's petition was submitted to Glendale toda...Cobb's petition was submitted to Glendale today.

His agent said that the new deadline for when he'll start talking to other teams is July 16th (i.e. the deadline Cobb stated is the actual deadline for when the signatures are due with the city).LDvSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144101161300155170.post-87763982616851190602012-07-10T21:44:01.648-04:002012-07-10T21:44:01.648-04:00You're right, the team is in very murky waters...You're right, the team is in very murky waters and a vision of their future is tremendously unclear. They are facing a very determined opposition which can and will create uncertainty for the team for a while. It might even be a part of their strategy. It seems that Doan is just really unsure about what to do.<br /><br />And I wonder what the NHL is thinking. They should know better than to expect any clarity until, most likely, the end of the calendar year. I suppose they're just hoping Jamison takes the risk (or scraps the deal relatively soon). <br /><br />Also, I'm really looking forward to your posts on the NYI arena situation. That mess has really piqued my interest. Feel bad for that team (I'm bet my feelings aren't shared by you as a Rangers fan though lol).LDvSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144101161300155170.post-31651267340562655342012-07-10T21:40:45.501-04:002012-07-10T21:40:45.501-04:00I understand that, however, the increase in sales ...I understand that, however, the increase in sales tax has been suggested as necessary for funding the arena management agreement with the Jamison Group.

The larger point I was trying to make was that if Doan won't sign with the Coyotes unless their is more certainty in their ownership situation, then he can't sign with them because their ownership situation will not be completely settled for a few months.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530790791140682287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1144101161300155170.post-21844436526547321342012-07-10T08:57:47.055-04:002012-07-10T08:57:47.055-04:00My feeling is that Doan and his team are well info...My feeling is that Doan and his team are well informed of most of those technical nuances, and his July 9 deadline was more a courtesy move rather than his true desire. He knows that it may linger for a long time regardless what happens with that petition. I expect him to start fielding the offers from everyone.ilb2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/00356793285593785608noreply@blogger.com
