Interesting punch line there...
Since Ice Edge Holdings isn't in charge of the Phoenix Coyotes hockey team yet, and the NHL still is, President Doug Moss was fired by the "League" and not by the team.
Since the league runs the team, that's how this went down...
Odd...
Did this go off with the blessing of Ice Edge as some kind of a suck-up move to the league, or did Ice Edge maintain this was something they wanted to do in blowing up Moss and bringing in Mike Nealy to take over the position- short term or long term...
Nothing like getting your pink slip before the end of your deal by Bill Daly.
"Doug did a lot of good things for the Coyotes' franchise during his tenure with the club, and I know he will do well in the future," Daly told Jim Gintonio and Rebekah Sanders of the Arizona Republic. "We just thought it was time to instill new leadership and some fresh ideas on the business side of the operation, and we believe that Mike Nealy is the right person to do that."
"The NHL has entrusted me to have a fresh look at some things and carry it forward," Nealy said.
Right... just in time for free agent frenzy tomorrow...
Daly denies the coincidence...
The HQ guesses the video below was Moss' last move as President, the drafting of Brandon Gormley in the 2010 Entry Draft...
((HT: TSN/NHL))
Just axin'...
What happens if this deal was done independent of Ice Edge...???
More when we know more...
