[JJ Watt] If for no reason other than this logo alone, the franchise needs to be revived properly. And Shane Doan should be involved. Just gotta gather up a couple billion dollars, have the people of Arizona approve a new stadium build & get Gary Bettman to approve it. Easy right?

You know, I think this JJ Watt guy might be onto something!
If Ishbia is one of the two petitioning for a franchise then he already has the arena, and the city would be a very willing partner. No need to build anything.
I love JJ Watt
Sam Fox – the guy is a genius- sold the Fox Restaurant Group a few yrs ago for &260M & built the Grand Ambassador Hotel with Fitzgerald, Booker & Dierks Bentley as investors. He is savvy as hell & an Arizona guy.
JJ’s gotta know somebody who’ll pull some fucking strings
The best thing that could happen is getting Doan and other valley stars involved even just for a PR push to a new team.
Doan, Fitz, Watt, etc. even if they aren’t monetarily involved, their support and star power can find investors, sway politicians, etc.
I’m in.
Here’s perhaps a ridiculous question, but as absurd as it may be, what’s the chances that a new ownership group gets a team, plays nice with Glendale and they get to use Desert Diamond as a temporary hold over until the new arena is done being built?

Can Doan realistically do this and keep his Toronto job for year or two? I feel like him walking away from that right now may not be the best move… especially if nothing would be gaurenteed on the back end …

I’d love to see it though.
