This evening marked two important milestones in the history of the Phoenix Coyotes franchise. First off was the NHL Entry Draft where the Phoenix Coyotes selected seventeen year old Oliver Eckman Larrson at #6 over all. Darren Pang, at the Coyotes Draft Party this evening, said that the Detroit Red Wings Swedish scout called Larrson a ‘Can’t miss’ hockey player.
The second milestone was first reported by TSN on their draft special (and later on their website) and confirmed by Coyotes FSN AZ color announcer Darren Pang (he made an announcement to the masses) at the at the Coyotes NHL Entry Draft Party this evening. The announcement was made that Jerry Reinsdorf has officialy filed an offer to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes with the intention of keeping them in Phoenix.
Needless to say, this news made the Coyotes fans day at the Draft Party.
AZ Vibe contacted the NHL this evening asking about Reinsdorf’s offer and they officially have no comment on the offer.
At this time we cannot confirm the price to purchase the Coyotes is indeed $148 million.
