CHICAGO -- NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly says its possible the Phoenix Coyotes could relocate if a new ownership group cant reach a deal to keep the team in Glendale, Ariz. The Coyotes unstable situation appears to be the biggest issue facing the league, and commissioner Gary Bettman said "time is getting short" finding a solution to keep the team in Arizona. "Its been a complicated process," Bettman said Wednesday before Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final. "We, in our minds, understand that were dealing with a time frame, but a specific day isnt going to do it. But time is getting short and this is really going to be a decision that the city of Glendale is going to have to make." Daly said the 2013-14 schedule will be released a bit later than usual in part because of the uncertainty surrounding the Coyotes. "It certainly means that its possible that the team wont play there next year," Daly said. "Were in the short strokes in Phoenix now." Asked about Quebec City, Bettman refused to speculate on potential landing spots for the Coyotes. "Were still focused on making it work with the Coyotes staying in Arizona," he said. "I dont want to begin the process, particularly publicly, where theres going to be a lot of speculation as to where the team might go if it moved because all that would do would be to unfairly raise expectation in places." Seattle, Southern Ontario and Kansas City are among other areas considered ripe for relocation. But Bettman and Daly emphasized, as they did with the Atlanta Thrashers, that moving any team is a last resort. "No matter how this plays out, I dont think anybody can accuse us of kind of (taking) a grass-is-greener approach to this," Daly said. "Weve been committed to this market; weve done everything humanly possible to make this franchise work in this market, and nows the time were going to find out whether that works." Bettman and Daly put the pressure on the Glendale city council, even when not revealing any hard deadlines. That city council meets June 25 and the board of governors convenes June 27. Asked if there must be a decision in place by that June 27 meeting, Bettman said "maybe." In that time, he said, "stuff is going to happen," and there could be a resolution before then. In the meantime, the NHL must consider contingency plans. According to the commissioner, there are no shortage of markets or owners that would be willing to take the Coyotes. "There are a number of markets that have been expressing interest to us over the years and the phone keeps ringing more regularly the longer that the Coyotes situation stays unresolved," Bettman said. Bettman wouldnt confirm whether putting the team on hiatus was a possibility, saying only there was a "myriad of options." The Coyotes were reportedly sold to a Canadian-led ownership group which is negotiating with the city of Glendale for a lease at the Jobing.com Arena. "I think everybody knows kind of whats on the table, and I think the puck is pretty much in the city of Glendales end with respect to how theyre going to deal with that," Daly said. The same could be said for NHL players participation in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Bettman said the NHL Players Association had more issues unresolved with getting a deal done but added that it is being worked out "together." "Were optimistic that we can get it done, but it isnt done yet," Bettman said. "Until its all done, it isnt done." Nike Air Force 1 Billig .

"I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now.

Air Force 1 Dame Norge Air Force 1 Hvit Norge . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . Last week we started our quest to review all 132 cards from Hearthstones Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, with the first two parts of our comprehensive card review and our exclusive reveal and roundtable discussion of Grimestreet Pawnbroker. Our first set of reviews focused on class and tri-class cards this expansion; now we move on to the neutrals announced so far.We start off with the Big-Time Racketeer, six-mana 1/1 that summons a 6/6 Little Friend (I love Scarface references). The first thing I ask myself on a card that isnt vanilla is How can this be exploited in a win condition? Six-mana 7/7 is perfectly reasonable in itself, but theres not a ton of synergy with cards it likely will be paired with. The exception is Brann Bronzebeard, who triggers Battlecry twice, but Brann has trouble surviving a turn -- making Brann + Racketeer a win condition -- and 13/13 of stats for 10 mana that doesnt affect the board isnt really that great. Fine in Arena, where stats rule.Im always on the lookout for anti-aggro tools, and the Second-Rate Bruiser fits the cards here. By becoming a three-mana 4/5 with taunt if your opponent has three minions -- and insane amount of value -- it fills a needed role, buying time if playing against low-curve decks flooding the board with tokens. A 4/5 minion with taunt isnt exciting on Turn 5 otherwise, but its not a dreadful card that loses you the game if you play it.Kooky Chemist, Crazed Alchemists (a two-mana 2/2 with the same text) bigger cousin, doesnt strike me as a card likely to see competitive play. Two additional mana for 2/2 stats is worse than a vanilla two-mana minion, and if you want the effect, you can just choose to play Crazed Alchemist for fewer mana. Might see some play in Arena, but likely a little below average.Another early-game card, where Second-Rate Bruiser tries to be the new Sludge Belcher, Mistress of Mixtures is an attempt to replace the beloved Zombie Chow. 2/2 is a worse line than 2/3 at fighting for board, but you also get four health back, where Zombie Chow only healed the opponent for five. This is significant because control decks that would use this card would sometimes see their health a little too low when the Face Hunter simply ignored Zombie Chow and went face.For neutral legendaries, we start off with Patches the Pirate, a Stonetusk Boar that gets played for free whenever you have a Pirate. On the surface, the effect looks exploitable, but I think this card wont be as solid as many in the community think. It does give you a free 1/1 and thins out your Pirate deck. However, to make a one-turn-kill deck, you likely need to be playing Gang Up, but then youre stuck having Gang Up, which wont always be able to hit this target. In a pure Pirate deck, youll frequently not be able to play this at the moment you want because a Pirate deck needs to play pirates.For cool artwork and concept, Finja, the Flying Star is tough to beat. Unfortunately, it doesnt really fit Murloc burst decks, and the old-style Murloc decks, where you just stuff in every good Murloc, arent good enough these days.Madam Goya is a card with interesting possibilities, but one I think that will not see that much play. Why? Because she needs a deck around her to make her effect work well, but that effect itself isnt good enough. If it were, wed see competitive YShaarj decks and Varian Wrynn be more than a very niche choice in Control Warrior. A six-mana 4/3 has to have an effect thats completely bananas to see play, and this one doesnt. Sure, you can get a second Reno Jackson effect off, but you can already do this with one of the Brewmaster cards, and preciselly zero people are doing this in high-level play.ddddddddddddAuctionmaster Beardo would be terrific if Inspire decks were a thing. Theyre not, and Blizzard hasnt done anything with the mechanic since the Grand Tournament was released, so there likely arent yet-to-be-unveiled cards that will make this card bonkers. A three-mana 3/4 has good stats, so this will mostly be seen in Arena, where you do sometimes end up with Murloc Knight or Kvaldir Raider. Thunder Bluff Valiant is the only card I see that can really exploit this, but I dont think its good enough for Midrange Shaman, which, while very much a fan of triggering the Valiant twice, wants to already have a scary board by the Turn 9 required for this combo.Friendly Bartender is a straightforward card to look at. We have lots of two-mana 2/3 cards that do something, and in this case, the something just isnt that appealing. Just not good enough, but will at least exist in Arena.Thats more than can be said for the Wind-up Burglebot, which too often will be simply a six-mana 5/5 with no effect, which is absolutely dreadful. Whats the dream for this card? That you play this on a board of token on Turn 6 and start clearing a token every turn? Cards are nice, but if you actually have time to take advantage of this effect, youve probably won anyway, so the card doesnt do anything of value.The Fel Orc Soulfiend is a tricky card to value. Getting a three mana 3/5 on turn three is terrific, but its also a card that will die on its own if you dont invest mana in it to keep it alive. I can see some shenanigans in a Priest deck, but the problem is youd need a Priest deck that actually chooses to play Silence or Purify, and in that case, Injured Blademaster and Circle of Healing are the more useful combo. This will see play in Arena, however, as it can remove a 3/2 or a 4/3 and survive a turn unless the opponent invests another minion or a costly ping into dealing with it.Windfury is one of the more difficult mechanics for Blizzard to manage, as theres a fine line between a card being superpowerful and overpriced and unplayable. The Grook Fu Master is probably on the latter line but would be insane at one fewer mana! Its too costly, and like Windfury Harpy and Thrallmar Farseer, both similar cards that are a bit too expensive, will only see some edge play in Arena. Whirling Zap-o-Matic remains the only successful Windfury card that doesnt have crazy burst potential (as in Raging Worgen and AlAkir the Windlord).Im surprised that the Worgen Greaser wasnt named the Worgen Rager, given the theme of high attack/low health and unplayability. A four-mana 6/3 is no more playable than a three-mana 5/2. The developers have said that all expansions are going to have some bad cards. This is one of them.Meh. Thats my only reaction to the Backroom Bouncer, a four-mana 4/4 that needs a lot to go right to be playable. You need at least one minion to die just to make it a 5/4, and if you wanted to play a 5/4, there are already a lot of them to choose from. A 6/4 or a 7/4 gets a bit more interesting, but the four health makes it easily removable no matter how large it gets. Id rather play a guaranteed 7/4 Ancient Shade at the same cost and risk the seven health instead of killing three of my own minions. And Im not playing Ancient Shade (nor are you).This article is part of a series analyzing the cards in the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Hearthstone expansion.
