Well... Made a mistake yet again. Hell no surprise.
Apparently, the NHL is including their $40M contribution in the bid. This weakened their bid by at least $80M. It literally castrates their own bid.
Oh and the out clause quietly inserted into the NHL bid is only a one year term for Phoenix. Now compare the five year term that was rumored to be in the defunct Reinsdorf bid. And the bid by the Ice Edge Sports, the people who will stay in Phoenix and mitigate costs by playing five games in Saskatoon per season.
I mean only 5 games in Saskatoon will support the team playing 35 games in Phoenix. Whow. So they could really make more money in Saskatchewan if they played all 40 games there. It may be better than Hamilton even. After all, the most lucrative CFL team is the Saskatchewan Roughriders. People in the whole province will support any sports team.

Well, the 'Coyotes' name makes more sense in Saskatchewan but I wonder if there are enough people in the entire Province, however fanatical, to cover what... 40 home games and the playoffs, if any?
