The city of Glendale unanimously approved a new $33 million lease agreement with ASM Global for the former hockey arena now called Desert Diamond Arena, with an option to purchase the facility.

Glendale City Council gave the green light on Tuesday for the new long-term lease agreement and $40 million renovation plan with California-based ASM Global, a company that was formed through a merger of AEG Facilities and SMG and is one of the largest venue management companies globally.

The new agreement replaces the previous agreement with Glendale and ASM that was in place for about six and half years and comes nearly a year after the Arizona Coyotes hockey team played their last game at the venue.

Through the new agreement, ASM will enter into a ground lease with the city for a minimum of 20 years with the option for multiple 10-year renewals. Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps said the city has been negotiating the contract for just under a year and that leasing to ASM will allow Glendale to stay involved with the venue.

The new agreement will also take away some of the risks and costs that the city was responsible for under the previous contract with ASM, such as utilities, personnel and operations. ASM will also no longer have to split revenue with Glendale.

In the new agreement, ASM will take over arena management and capital repair costs from Glendale, which Phelps said means an estimated $140 million to $145 million benefit returned to the city over the next 20 years. The estimated benefit includes the $33 million ASM will pay Glendale over the course of about two and half years as an upfront lease payment.

Glendale Vice Mayor Joyce Clark said during Tuesday's Council meeting that the agreement "restores the city's original position and the city's original intent, which was to pay off the debt and to have all costs associated with arena assumed by our partner." Mayor Jerry Weiers said the new deal will also bring "much more" and better events than in previous years to the arena without the liabilities.

ASM Global said the agreement is part of a multiyear strategy to increase the venue's fiscal returns. The management company will also contribute $15 million to the city's $40 million renovation of the arena, which will be led by architectural and engineering firm HOK.

"ASM, who is one of the largest owner of arenas and stadiums in the entire world, they now have a significantly increased investment into our sports and entertainment district," Phelps told the Business Journal. "We feel like now they'll have even more incentive to jump in and invest heavily to make sure our arena is bringing in as many events as possible."

Last year marked the venue's best financial performance in the past 17 years and included sold-out events featuring Pearl Jam, Eric Church, Grupo Firme, Alan Jackson and Billie Eilish, according to ASM, which said it expects 2023 to surpass last year's record.

"We passionately believe in Glendale and Desert Diamond's potential to live up to its name as a diamond in the entertainment sphere," said ASM Global President and CEO Ron Bension, in a statement. "The area's track record of hosting spectacular events, like the Super Bowl, can grow even more to enrich the community."

ASM Global has operated the former Coyotes arena since 2016, when City Council took management of the arena away from the Arizona Coyotes and awarded a new contract to the company, then called AEG Facilities, to bring more concerts to the arena.

At the time, the Coyotes had a rocky relationship with the city and the agreement was seen as a move that could have prompted the team to leave Glendale. The city eventually parted ways with the Coyotes and the Gila River Arena was renamed Desert Diamond Arena in a deal between ASM Global and Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment.

ASM said it plans to leverage the venue's anchor status within the $1 billion Westgate Entertainment District, which is part of the city's fast-growing sports and entertainment district that spans three square miles along the Loop 101 and was just host to the Super Bowl LVII.

"Our property has seen tremendous growth over the past few years, and we're excited that ASM will aid in its continued expansion," said Dan Dahl, director of real estate for YAM Properties, in a statement.

The Desert Diamond Arena first opened in 2003 and was the first project in the city's sports and entertainment district. It's part of ASM's portfolio of more than 350 venues globally. The Glendale venue has a seating capacity of 18,300 for basketball and 19,000 for concerts and is also home to the Professional Bull Riders Arizona Ridge Riders. It has 3,075 club seats and 87 luxury suites.

ASM has worked on major entertainment districts and venues including L.A. Live in Los Angeles, Darling Harbour in Sydney, OVO Arena Wembley in London and AO Arena Manchester.

The city said it currently has more than $130 million in remaining bond debt that will be paid out over the next 20 years for the former hockey arena.

James Mirtle: The Toronto Maple Leafs have some salary cap room, which could be used for more moves and signing Matthew Knies. They could look to add to their blue line.

David Alter: Leafs GM Dubas on trade draft picks for rental players: “I just felt our team had earned it. I’d rather deal the picks rather than our prospects pool. Referred to the picks as a ‘mystery box’ rather than the prospects they know.

Darren Dreger: Don’t think that Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas is done after acquiring Ryan O’Reilly and Noel Acciari.

What other pieces does Dubas have left to use? Alex Kerfoot? Pierre Engvall? Justin Holl? David Kampf?

Mike Stephens: Dubas on if he’s done: “If there’s a way we can continue to improve the team we’ll definitely look at it”

Pierre LeBrun: The Toronto Maple Leafs would have been high on Ryan O’Reilly’s list on July 1st when he becomes a free agent, and there might have been mutual interest. Don’t expect there to be any talk now as they focus on the stretch and playoff run.

Mike Stephens: Leafs GM Dubas said they haven’t had any contract extension talks yet with Ryan O’Reilly’s camp: “You want people to live together before you get married, to take that next step.”

Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now: Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun still awaits a trade. A source said the Boston Bruins are still ‘keeping tabs’ on the situation.

The source said that talk around the league had the Coyotes asking the Bruins for one of Jake DeBrusk or Jeremy Swayman, a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 third-round pick and a top prospect in Fabian Lysell or Mason Lohrie.

The Bruins said that DeBrusk and Swayman are off-limits and not available in any trade.

Flames vs. Coyotes Odds

After a rough loss at home to the Flyers, the Calgary Flames head to Arizona on Wednesday to take on the Coyotes. It’s been a very up-and-down season for the Flames, and they’ve going 4-4-2 in their last 10 games as they attempt to claw their way into the postseason.

The Coyotes started the season on an expected rough note, but they’re playing better as of late. They’ve kept games close for the most part, going 5-1-4 in their last 10 games. Arizona has nothing to lose, and at the end of the season, those teams are the most dangerous for teams like the Flames.

Here’s a look at our odds, as well as our prediction for the Calgary Flames vs. Arizona Coyotes.

The Flames are a curious case. After losing two of their top scorers, they were hoping that Jonathan Huberdeau would pick up the slack, which he hasn’t. The former 100-point scorer has 38 points in 54 games. Elias Lindholm is also having a down year after a 100-point season.

What’s surprising is Tyler Toffoli is leading the team in scoring. He’s no slouch, but he’s usually one to be a fifth leading scorer for a successful team.

Despite this slow season for Calgary, it’s actually one of the best even strength offenses in the league. It ranks sixth in expected goals with a 54.14 xGF%. What has held the Flames back is their porous power play, scoring only 19% of the time.

On the defensive side, the Flames are actually pretty solid. They only allow 3.02 goals per game and are one of the best at limiting expected goals against. The penalty kill is also very good, at 81.6%.

After being nominated for the Vezina last year, Jacob Markstrom has had an abysmal year. The towering Swede is playing to an uncharacteristic -0.6 goals saved above expected and an .889 SV%.

Another week goes by and Jakob Chychrun remains out for trade-related reasons. The dynamic defenseman hasn’t played since February 10th and won’t play until a trade commences. Luckily, players like Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz and Lawson Crouse have picked up the slack and have been as productive as ever.

While Arizona’s one of the worst even strength offenses, it’s picked up over the past month. It currently stands 30th in expected goals, but is 23rd since January 21. That doesn’t look like much, but is better than what it was. The power play is as good as it’s going to get, only scoring 19.3% of the time.

Defensively, the Yotes are a bit of a mess as expected, especially with Chychrun out. They allow 3.44 goals per game and are 25th in expected goals against.

Karel Vejmelka’s play has dropped to the point where coach Andre Tourigny has put more faith in Connor Ingram. Ingram played on Sunday, however, so I think we see Vejmelka. The Czech netminder is playing to an overall great +12.9 GSAx, but since January 1, has a .901 SV%.

My faith in the Flames has dwindled. It’s clear that the locker room is in shambles and the players are not buying into Daryl Sutter anymore. As I keep hoping that they snap out of it, they don’t, and they don’t win the games they should win (like the one against the Flyers at home).

Arizona should be scary to the Flames. Sure, to start the season, the Coyotes were a joke, but they have now earned points in nine out of their last 10 games. Not only that, but they have a 13-8-2 record at home.

One can look at the records Vejmelka and Markstrom have against each other, but I wouldn’t look too far into it. The Flames are vulnerable and are more prone to gripping their sticks too tight, while Arizona has been playing with house money since the turn of the year. I’m backing the heavy underdog Coyotes to win at home.

The Arizona Coyotes have 25 games left this season, and 18 of those will be played at Mullett Arena.

It's the literal 'home stretch' of the 2022-23 schedule.

The Coyotes have fared well at home this season, compiling a 13-8-2 record while winning their last four games at The Mullett. Those last four had come as part of a broader nine-game point streak, which is the league's longest streak following the New York Rangers' loss on Monday night.

Arizona's rookies have had a huge hand in that success.

For starters, netminder Connor Ingram recently had his shutout streak stopped at 147:08, which is the fifth-longest stretch by any goalie this season. He also recorded his first-career shutout last week against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and his 47 stops set the NHL record for the most saves in a player's first shutout.

Forward Matias Maccelli has also been a big part of that success, picking up right where he left off after missing some time in January with an injury. The 22-year-old leads all NHL rookies with 25 assists despite missing 16 games over that span, and has recorded five over his last four games.

Maccelli's skill was on full display in Sunday's win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, assisting on Barrett Hayton's game-winning goal with a no-look pass.

Hayton's overtime tally propelled Arizona to its third win in four games, with the Calgary Flames on deck this Wednesday.

On to the show!

The Week in Review

Wednesday, Feb. 15 | vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | 1-0 Win (Shootout) STATS | THE WRAP

The night belonged to Ingram, who broke the aforementioned NHL record for most saves by a goalie in their first-ever shutout. The 25-year-old secured the win after turning aside all 47 shots he faced, and allowed just one of three shooters to score in the ensuing shootout.

Nick Schmaltz and Clayton Keller converted their opportunities in the shootout to secure the win for the Coyotes, despite getting outshot 47-26 in the game.

The Coyotes kept their point streak alive following a furious rally, scoring four unanswered goals over the game's final two periods after falling behind 5-1 in the first.

Keller, Maccelli, Travis Boyd and Josh Brown each finished with two points apiece, which Ingram continued his stellar play by turning aside all 23 shots he faced after replacing Karel Vejmelka late in the first period.

The Kings ultimately prevailed in the game's shootout, but the Coyotes earned a point in the game to keep the streak alive.

Arizona found itself in familiar territory, playing in an extra frame for the third straight game. Unlike the night before in L.A., though, the Coyotes were able to secure the win following Hayton's game-winning goal just two minutes into overtime.

Boyd scored for the second straight game, and Nick Schmaltz added his 15th goal of the season as Arizona took the season series over Columbus 2-0.
