The land auction is looming and Arizona Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo faces an uphill battle. Earlier this week, former NHLPA consultant Richard Rodier tweeted that the June 27 auction has four registered bidders including Meruelo. Craig and Leah discuss the obstacles facing Meruelo.

RIP Arizona Coyotes
Maybe you can do 20 rounds of “Mock Auctions” beforehand! 😂
If there are 3 other bidders then who are they? Anybody can register for the auction but until they put down a deposit AND the state reveals the bidders by name then this story is hogwash.
I just don't want Meruelo as the owner.
What about that other piece of land they supposedly can get? Mesa?
Phoenix as a community just does not have the enthusiasm for hockey. As tight-fisted as Mereulo, I don't see him paying more than $100 million for that land. He will lose the auction but then will come up with another statement that he has other options he's working on. He's all talk, but no action. He's cheap, he wants everything at rock-bottom prices. He would not be a sports team owner who would put a good product on the ice. He carries that way, that's who he is.
And now mass office staff layoffs. As gawdawful as the Meruelos have been at pretty much everything, I'm a little shocked that the 'severance package' wasn't 10% off coupons for Junior's Streetwear.
Good luck to the other bidders.
