Even as Jim Balsillie launches another salvo across our bow, GMDM doesn’t let that stop the work that must go forward if the Coyotes are to be competitive next season.

GMDM got Pruuuuu!!! resigned! Oh YEAH! The Coyotes are on the prowl. Its a 2 year deal that will let Petr Prucha shine here in the desert sun with plenty of TOI I hope. Hey Deb! we’re keepin yer boy, so you’ll still be an honorary Coyotes.

DM seems to be in a deal makin mood this morning because he also did a quick trade with Florida while he was sippin his morning latte.

Steven Reinprecht was traded to the Florida Panthers this morning where he joins other former Yoties, Keith Ballard and Nick Boynton. Rhino promptly signed a 3 year deal with the Panthers, so you know that deal had probably been in the hopper for awhile (might be the reason we didn’t pull the trigger on Rhino at the trade deadline).

In return, we got 23 year old Stefan Meyer. The Medicine Hat native has been up and down quite a bit (his frequent flyer miles to Rochester probably rival our Kevin Porter’s from the beginning of the season).

Here we go fans, the Yotes are setting out to show they got unfinished business here in the Valley of the Sun. They host their first Open House for the 09 season. This will be the team’s first push for season ticket sales since this mess started. They will also be releasing their 20 game pick your game plan that night as well.

Let’s show up by the thousands and show them we want to support our team! The ticket reps are calling the people on their lists to inform everyone of the Open House and we can also expect more information from the Coyotes as it becomes available. Please check phoenixcoyotes.com as well as this site for information as its made available.

Here’s the info that I have so far:

Coyotes Open House

Thursday June 25th 6-9pm at the Arena

The Coyotes will provide hot dogs and soda for everyone and a free “Game On AZ” t-shirt will be given to the first 2000 people through the door.

Season Ticket holders can RSVP to their ticket reps, non season ticket holders can call Ian at 623-772-3293 or Matt at 623-772-3349.

Your RSVP is not required but is appreciated, so that they can get an idea of how much food they will need.

Hope to see you there as I visit my favorite seats and my beloved patio… come on over and say howdy if you see me.

As always… Go Coyotes!
