{coyotes} NHL Draft full of family connections

NEWARK, N.J. -- Max Domi and his father, Tie, are polar opposites as far as NHL skill sets go, but Max is quick to credit his dad for his success on the ice.

"He played 17 years in the NHL so he was doing something right, and he's probably one of the hardest workers I've ever met," Max said. "I kind of take bits and pieces of what he did in his career and implement them into mine, hoping for the best."

He appears to have taken all the right pieces as Max, a high-skill forward with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League, was taken by the Phoenix Coyotes with the No. 12 pick of the 2013 NHL Draft.

Domi was one of four players taken in the first round Sunday whose fathers played in the NHL.

None, however, was welcomed to the NHL quite as dramatically as Anthony Brodeur, the son of New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur.

The Devils acquired a seventh-round pick (No. 208) from the Los Angeles Kings and used it to select Anthony Brodeur, a goaltender from Shattuck-St. Mary's. Martin Brodeur took the microphone at the Devils' table to make the announcement, which was greeted by thunderous applause from those remaining in the building almost seven hours after the start of the draft.

"This is so surreal, no other way to explain it," said Anthony Brodeur, who will play for Gatineau in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League next season. "I've grown up watching the Devils, cheering on the Devils, cheering on my dad; so being in this jersey right now in this arena and everything is awesome."

Elias Lindholm, taken No. 5 by the Carolina Hurricanes, is the son of Mikael Lindholm, a 1987 draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings who played 18 NHL games with L.A. during the 1989-90 season but spent most of his professional career playing in Europe.

Andre Burakovsky, selected by the Washington Capitals at No. 23, is the son of Robert Burakovsky, a New York Rangers draft pick who played 23 games for the Ottawa Senators during the 1993-94 season.

In addition, Anthony Mantha, Detroit's pick at No. 20, is the grandson of Andre Pronovost, who was part of four straight Stanley Cup championships (1957-60) with the Montreal Canadiens.

"There's no words to describe those moments," Mantha told NHL.com. "It's really the moments that he reminds himself of the most and he tells his sons and grandchildren."

Mantha said occasionally his grandfather would bring his championship rings out, but said he never tried them on.

"Never wore it," he said. "I hope I'll get my own in the next few years."

There were a few family reunions made possible by the draft. Guelph Storm left wing Tyler Bertuzzi, taken by the Red Wings in the second round, has a chance to be part of the same organization that employs his uncle, Todd Bertuzzi.

Like New Jersey, there was a father-and-son affair in Phoenix -- sixth-round pick Brendan Burke, a goalie with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League, will join his father, Sean, who is an assistant to the general manager and the goaltending coach for the Coyotes.

The third Subban brother also was drafted into the NHL as Jordan, a defenseman with the Belleville Bulls, was selected in the fourth round by the Vancouver Canucks. He joins oldest brother P.K., the 2013 Norris Trophy winner who was a 2007 second-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens, and Malcolm, a goaltender taken by the Boston Bruins with the 24th pick of the 2012 draft.

The Canucks drafted another player with a familiar name, selecting Oshawa Generals center Cole Cassels in the third round. His father, Andrew Cassels, was taken by the Montreal Canadiens with the 17th pick of the 1987 draft and played 1,015 games for six teams, including the Canucks.

Other familiar names picked included Winnipeg Jets second-round pick Eric Comrie, whose half-brother, Mike Comrie, played more than 500 NHL games with six teams; New York Rangers third-round pick Adam Tambellini, son of former Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini; Boston Bruins fourth-round pick Ryan Fitzgerald, son of former NHL player and current Pittsburgh Penguins assistant general manager Tom Fitzgerald, and Los Angeles Kings fifth-round pick Patrik Bartosak, nephew of former NHL player Radek Bonk.

{coyotes} COYOTES AGREE TO SIX-YEAR DEAL WITH GOALTENDER SMITH

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Phoenix Coyotes have agreed to a six-year contract with goalie Mike Smith that will average around $5.7 million per year, according to an NHL official familiar with the deal.

The official requested anonymity because the contract still must be approved by the NHL.

The 31-year-old Smith had mostly been a backup before leading the Coyotes to the Western Conference finals for the first time in 2011-12, his first as Phoenix's No. 1 goalie. Smith was about to become a free agent and had been waiting for clarity on the Coyotes' ownership situation before signing.

The City of Glendale is set to vote on a lease agreement with Renaissance Sports & Entertainment on Tuesday, the last major hurdle in the group's attempt to buy the franchise from the NHL.

Smith signed with Phoenix in 2011 after spending the previous six seasons with Dallas and Tampa Bay.

He was stellar in his first true shot at being a No. 1 goalie, winning 38 games with a 2.21 goals-against average, a .930 save percentage and a franchise-record-tying eight shutouts. The Coyotes won their first division title in 33 years as an NHL franchise and went to the conference finals for the first time that season.

Smith wasn't quite as good in the final year of his contract, going 15-12-5 with a 2.58 goals-against average and save percentage of .910 during the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season. The Coyotes finished four points out of the West's final playoff spot.

Smith likely would have been one of the top goalies in the free agency market, but said his preference was to stay in Phoenix as long as there was clarity in the team's ownership.

The NHL has agreed to sell the franchise to RSE, but the deal is contingent upon the group working out a lease agreement with Glendale for Jobing.com Arena. Tuesday's vote is still in doubt, leaving open the possibility that the franchise could be relocated -- the NHL has indicated that would be the likely next option -- but Smith decided to sign anyway.

Even as the four-year ownership saga laboured on, the Coyotes have shown signs of stability over the past few weeks, signing General Manager Don Maloney, assistant GM Brad Treliving, coach Dave Tippett and his assistants in recent weeks. Phoenix also signed captain Shane Doan before the 2012-13 season and locked up young defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson to a long-term deal in March.

Tippett signed with the Coyotes this week and goalies coach Sean Burke, Smith's mentor in Arizona, signed a couple of weeks before that.

{coyotes} COYOTES, SMITH MAKING PROGRESS ON NEW CONTRACT

The Phoenix Coyotes and pending free agent goaltender appear to be making progress on a new contract.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the two sides are closing in on a six-year deal that would see the 31-year-old netminder make around $5.7 million per season.

In 34 games last season, Smith posted a 15-12-5 record with a 2.58 goals against average.

It's been a busy off-season for the Coyotes who locked up head coach Dave Tippett to a five-year deal earlier in the month.

Off the ice, the club which has been owned by the league since 2009 might have a new ownership group in Renaissance Sports and Entertainment, a group headed by Canadian investors, contingent on a new lease agreement with the city of Glendale.

{coyotes} Coyotes deal in peril after Glendale's latest proposal

Country's Got Heart, only at TimeLife.com!

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Negotiations to keep the Phoenix Coyotes in Arizona fell to a new level of chaos Friday evening, with both Glendale officials and the team's prospective owners saying they cannot overcome their latest impasse.

Unless the sides somehow overcome their differences during the next few days, the Coyotes' fate seems sealed.

Call in the moving vans. Destination: unknown.

The impasse arose Friday during what was supposed to be a public workshop to discuss a proposed agreement between the council and the prospective team owner, IceArizona, an investment group headed by partners doing business as Renaissance Sports & Entertainment. The agreement is for IceArizona to use and manage Jobing.com Arena.

But council members revealed during the hearing that earlier that day they had devised a counterproposal. Specifically, they wanted a five-year out clause that mirrored provisions IceArizona executive had given themselves.

Glendale officials formally posted the counteroffer late Friday, locking in that version of the proposal for a binding City Council vote Tuesday, though minor amendments could be made.

A representative of the team investors, who was monitoring the meeting via the Internet, texted reporters covering the meeting stating that they were unaware that the city had even drafted a counterproposal.

The key money points of the deal remained. Glendale would pay IceArizona $15 million a year for 15 years, while IceArizona would reimburse the city millions of dollars projected to come largely from the team's performance at the turnstiles.

However, the Glendale out clause was new. The new proposal says that, like IceArizona, the city can opt out after five years or after reaching $50 million in losses.

In addition, Glendale officials sought language in the contract that prevented one side from suing the other for issues at the city-owned arena.

"We're not going to agree to it. It is a non-starter," IceArizona spokesman David Leibowitz said after the meeting.

"What we want the city to do is remove the out clause. That's a deal breaker. We want the city to return to the deal framework that was negotiated previously," he said.

City Councilman Gary Sherwood, who led the effort to force the vote saying a day earlier the brinkmanship was over, said Friday that he could support the counteroffer but not the previous draft.

Sherwood acknowledged that the city's five-year out clause may be problematic with IceArizona's lenders who would want assurances of a guaranteed 15-year income stream from the city before providing as much as half of the team's $170 million purchase price.

"That's a biggie and that was pointed out to us," Sherwood said.

Similarly, veteran Councilman Manny Martinez, who has supported every previous hockey deal, said he could only support the latest counter offer.

With a vote that was expected to be iffy under any circumstances, Sherwood's and Martinez's votes are critical for the deal to pass. Four votes are needed on the seven-member council to approve the arena management measure.

"I don't know that anyone could have voted for what we saw yesterday in terms of the actual contract language. I don't think that anyone could vote for it," Sherwood said.

On Thursday during the National Hockey League's Board of Governors meeting in New York, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said time is running short for the Coyotes in Glendale.

"There are relocation options here. Those are the alternatives we're going to consider," he said.

The NHL acquired the team out of bankruptcy in 2009 and has been trying to sell it to private investors willing to keep the team in Glendale ever since.

Daly, who has served as the NHL's spokesman regarding the Coyotes, could not be reached Friday night.

Leibowitz said city negotiators requested an out clause three weeks ago and IceArizona executives flatly rejected it. Then, negotiations progressed without another mention of it until Friday.

Leibowitz said IceArizona's executives don't understand why it popped up again.

Martinez said the city needed an escape clause if the revenues promised by IceArizona don't pan out.

Mayor Jerry Weiers said the counter offer addresses important shortcomings. "The city has a good history of making bad decisions," he said.

Glendale resident and Coyotes season-ticket holder Darrin Lacey said it's important to keep the team because the games create spin-off business at Westgate Entertainment District.

"If the Coyotes do leave Westgate, that whole area will be affected, and I think Glendale will lose sales-tax revenue and potential businesses coming into the area," said Lacey, a telephone-system technician, who attended the public meeting.

Glendale resident and council observer Ken Jones said the proposal is lopsided in favor of IceArizona.

"They get a T-bone, five-course dinner. We get maybe a baloney sandwich," he said after the meeting.

{coyotes} Glendale releases draft contract on Coyotes deal

GLENDALE, Ariz. - Glendale would pay the proposed Phoenix Coyotes owners $15 million a year to manage Jobing.com Arena, while the proposed owners would reimburse the city $6.7 million through fees charged to ticket-buyers and other sources, according to highlights of the draft contract, which city officials released Thursday.

The reimbursements would be in addition to the city's collection of sales taxes for admission, concessions and other business for hockey and other events at the arena.

The draft agreement calls for the NHL team to remain as the anchor tenant at the city-owned arena for 15 years, but the proposed team owners could leave if their cumulative losses reach $50 million or for any reason after five years.

Glendale noted the deal would not allow the city a similar out clause.

"The most recent contract proposal was received from the Renaissance group for review by the city of Glendale at approximately 9 p.m. on Wednesday, June 26. The Renaissance group expects the Glendale City Council to vote on the agreement on Tuesday, July 2," the city statement said.

The city noted the agreement remains a draft that is under negotiation.

According to the city, the proposed owners, an investment group called Renaissance Sports & Entertainment, project the following yearly revenue:

Rent — $500,000

Hockey ticket surcharge — $1.5 million

Non-hockey ticket surcharge — $1.7 million

Parking revenue —$2.2 million

Arena naming rights — $670,000

Naming rights for new stage within the arena — $150,000

If the projections fall short, the city would collect $1.2 million based on a $1.50 surcharge on each ticket sold for events at the arena.

In addition, the city would receive limited rent-free use of arena for city sponsored events and community events.

The city has budgeted only $6 million a year for arena management.

{coyotes} Bettman discusses Phoenix situation, Olympics

NEW YORK -- NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Thursday that the city council in Glendale, Ariz. is scheduled to vote July 2 on the proposed lease agreement for Jobing.com Arena that would facilitate the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes from the NHL to Renaissance Sports and Entertainment.

However, if the Glendale city council rejects the proposed lease agreement, Commissioner Bettman said he doesn't see any way in which the Coyotes can remain in Glendale.

"I don't want to be more specific than I'm going to be, but if the council doesn't approve it so this transaction can close, I don't think the Coyotes will be playing there anymore," Commissioner Bettman said following a Board of Governors meeting.

Should the city council reject the proposal, Commissioner Bettman said there is enough time to relocate the Coyotes for the start of the 2013-14 season. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said no matter where the team plays, the NHL's new unbalanced, two-conference, four-division alignment would not change.

"The fact of the matter is we haven't ironed out or put into effect a Plan B. We have lots of options," Commissioner Bettman said. "I find it difficult to conceive of why if the council turns this down we would want to keep the team in Glendale any longer. We would then, if they turn it down, have to deal with possibilities and the options that will be available to us and they are numerous. There is enough time."

The possibility of the team moving to Seattle has been widely reported. Daly said the NHL would be able to have a team play in 51-year-old Key Arena next season.

When asked specifically about the possibility of relocating the team to Quebec City, Daly said it is not an option that should be ruled out.

"I think we've tried to be clear that obviously there are a number of alternatives and we have to decide which one is the best for us in the short-term," Daly said.

Commissioner Bettman also said the NHL, National Hockey League Players' Association, International Olympic Committee and International Ice Hockey Federation are scheduled to meet Monday in New York to attempt to conclude an agreement that would enable NHL players to play in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Commissioner Bettman said the Board of Governors has granted him the authority to do the Olympic deal without going back to the Board for further approval.

In addition, Commissioner Bettman said the Board granted its authority for the League to work with the NHLPA on the implementation of the rule changes recommended by both the NHL Competition Committee and the general managers. However, the changes have not been formally enacted yet because the Players' Association wants to go through them with its executive board at a meeting next week.

The changes include:

* Mandatory visors for all players who have fewer than 26 games of NHL experience beginning in the 2013-14 season

* The use of hybrid icing in the 2013 preseason with the possibility of implementing it for the start of the 2013-14 regular season

* Shallower nets (four inches)

* Making the spin-o-rama on shootouts illegal

* All double-minor penalties for high-sticking will be subject to video review

* The League will eliminate the attainable pass, which gave linesmen the discretion to wave off icing infractions on attempted passes that are deemed to be attainable. With the new standard, there must be contact with the stick.

* Making goalie equipment smaller
