Now that the sale is complete and he is the sole owner of the team, Andrew Barroway is finally speaking to the press about the direction of the Arizona Coyotes. Many fans are still wanting to know what happened with Shane Doan,womens Dede Westbrook Jersey, if the team will stay in the valley,Authentic Kareem Hunt Jersey, and what direction he believes the team should be going in.

Weekes asked Barroway many of the questions Coyotes fans have been waiting for.womens Patrick Mahomes II Jersey,In an interview with Kevin Weekes of NHL Tonight

This was Barroway’s answer when he was asked about a new arena/home for the Coyotes: “We are trying as hard as we can to get a long term solution in the Valley.Authentic Patrick Mahomes II Jersey, The majority of our customer base is in the East Valley. We are pursuing every opportunity we can over there. We don’t have a deal done, [but] we have meetings. These things take a long time. Right now,,womens Cam Robinson Jersey, it’s a work in progress. We’re working very hard on it.”

“We’re meeting and talking with several different groups and a few different locations. Authentic Leonard Fournette Jersey I wake up in the morning thinking about getting a new stadium and go to sleep at night thinking about a new stadium, so this is top of mind. We fixed some of the hockey stuff that needs to be fixed, and we have the very best coach now, we have a great community that people love to be in that will really attract free agents, so it’s the last step.”

{FFH: Coyotes fans have been waiting for an arena announcement since the Glendale saga started all over again in June of 2015. With AEG currently managing the arena, the team could and would stay until a new home was built. Having added Steve Patterson to the team’s staff, it’s looking like a real possibility.}

we think we can be the premier destination for NHL hockey. “Authentic Dawuane Smoot Jersey,'' ,Barroway on the hiring of new Head Coach Rick Tocchet: “With a coach everyone wants to play for

When he was asked about the expectations of this season, Barroway said: “The expectations are high. There is a lot of pressure. We’re gonna have 9 players under 23 that are gonna get real ice time. So,womens Zach Banner Jersey, we’re either the youngest or about the youngest in the league.”

we just gotta get in first. And then from there, we think our younger players are gonna grow,Authentic Cam Robinson Jersey, and it’s time to stop talking about how great our young talent is and see them produce. I think they’re ready,“It’s hard to win the Cup when you don’t get into the playoffs. Sowomens Dawuane Smoot Jersey,', we think we have some of the best young talents, and they’re certainly really excited to play.”

{FFH: Last season the Coyotes had up to six rookies on the ice per game. Saying there will be nine players under 23 is just another example of how young the Coyotes actually are. There isn’t anything wrong with thatwomens Tanoh Kpassagnon Jersey, it just shows how slow and steady may actually win the race. See Toronto as an example with their three headed monster of Auston Matthews, William Nylander and Mitchell Marner (and more...)}

His thoughts on acquiring Derek Stepan: “We always look for that number-one center and we think we found it in Stepan and we’re excited about that.”

{FFH: The Dylan Strome’s and Christian Dvorak’s need a strong center to play behind and Stepan could be that center. Rick Tocchet has seen a lot more of Stepan in the last three years than we have in the west. Stepan is strong defensively at the center position, and with a young team, you need someone who can anchor your top line.}

incredibly personable,,womens Kareem Hunt Jersey, a Barroway spoke about Shane Doan not returning this season and taking the onus of how badly the situation turned. “Shane’s a bedrock of the Arizona community. He’s beloved by all, [and] will give his time to anyone who wants it. [He’s] great with adults, great with kids,Most importantly, beyond a lovable guy. We felt at the time the right hockey decision [because] we’re trying to win,Authentic Zach Banner Jersey,' we made the difficult decision that we didn’t think putting a soon-to-be 41-year old on the ice was the right thing for the Coyotes to win.”

“I have to accept responsibility. I didn’t handle it well. It’s not normal for an owner to fly across and tell a player that they’re not getting a contract, but Shane Doan is different. He was there for 20 years and I owed him the respect to fly across country and tell him myself,womens Leonard Fournette Jerseyand I didn’t do that,Authentic Dede Westbrook Jersey,' nd for that I am deeply sorry. I messed that up.” Barroway said.
