Interesting thoughts from the mandatory reading of Mike Sunnucks in Phoenix on the state of the Coyotes...
It appears that the new contender for wanting to buy the team is not one of the bidders to manage Jobing.com Arena at the same time...
The Anthony LeBlanc-led Renaissance Sports & Entertainment still seems to be interested in working out a deal with the city of Glendale to run jobing.com, but they're not on the list of having sent in a proposal to do it. There's no word on whether or not they want someone else to do their bidding for them.
The city of Glendale hired an outfit called Beacon Sports Capital Partners, LLC to sort through the bids and bidders.
But, here's the hook from Sunnucks:
The names of those bidders have not yet been disclosed. They could include groups offering alternative uses to Jobing.com Arena if the Coyotes end up moving out of the Phoenix market.
Past Coyotes bids that failed also have hinged on getting favorable arena terms and other financing from Glendale.
So, could this mean that the Glendale folks are trying to get a back-up tenant anticipating a Coyotes move since Renaissance wants to split hairs with their bid...???
The American Hockey League is out since the Houston Aeros have been turned into the Iowa Wild
The ECHL could be a contender if someone wants to move...
But the HQ's money is on something close to the Central Hockey League... Jim Treliving is one of those kind of guys that will be more than happy to create an arena management situation complete with tenants...
