>Here is the release from the AZ State Land Dept. regarding the cancellation of the auction in thread form: “After much consideration, the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) has determined that it is in the best interest of the Trust to cancel the auction and reorder the steps.”
This teams only hope is if ishbia finally buys in. Have no idea why the nhl isn’t doing everything they can to get the dude to buy in
One of two things happened.
1. He knows he will not have the commitment he needs from the City of Phoenix so he’s walking away.
2. He has an agreement elsewhere.
The odds of the first being the case are much more likely than the second.
So is it over than?
[According to ASLD press release, Meruelo first has to obtain a special use permit allowing an arena to be built on the land BEFORE he can be permitted to buy the land. A total fuckup, again, by the AM crew who seem to have misinterpreted the existing zoning restrictions.](https://twitter.com/NhLplayer123/status/1804244951791710314)
Ah well, dude is a scum bag. Looking at 10-15 years if ever for the yotes to return.
I’m kind of confused. Do the other people bidding on it need a permit as well or is it because PHX knows he’s building the arena so the other bidders don’t have to go through the same process? Also why was this just figured out right now?
Honestly, there wasn’t possibly a more Coyotes way for this to happen.

Good. Fuck off Meruelo. If we get a new team I wouldn’t want him involved anyway
Fuck you, Alex Meruelo.
get the fuck out of our state, and away from hockey.
