Per Friedman: Coyotes players told team moving to Utah starting next season (Mod warning post #50)

Doan should be the next captain for the Coyotes/whatever they'll be called in Salt Lake City.

After the last practice in Scottsdale Josh stuck around to talk to every fan and sign autographs.

Just like his father used to.

WTF?

This was probably because of the NHL wanting to control the narrative..

Official announcement comes tomorrow and the league wouldn't want a bunch of employees running to the internet ahead of time.

Makes sense. My brain is a bit fried, I should've made that leap.

I agree but it's kinda silly to do that when the Utah owner has already come out and said "the rumors you're hearing online are true"

Yeah..... local radio guy broke the news tweeted out today it's all done pending a BOG vote tomorrow morning.

(hint..... he's been getting his info from a friend who works for the Jazz)

I wonder, what's the NHL franchise record for most relocations? This will be relocation #3 for the WinniPhoeniUtah Jets 1.0

This ties the record I believe along with the now current NJ Devils

KC Scouts -> Colorado Scouts -> NJ Devils

Coyotes broadcast starting early to have a trip down memory lane with the Coyotes in their history. Really cool/sad to watch.

Their studio host was kinda struggling to keep it together for a minute on live TV.

Sucks.

Can we get a video of that?

And what a rich history it was

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

It's sad they are losing their team but the joke has lasted long enough.
Anyways, I'm convinced they'll have an expansion team within 10 years.

Rich coming from a Leafs fan when the Leafs haven't won shit in 60 years.

It could have been another Tampa.

It wasn't.

How long for the usual suspects to tell us this report is also wrong. AM is a valued owner. There is no way they sell and the league is happy with the fans sitting on high school benches.

I think they value the franchise. AM gets made hole ish.

The buyer pays a relocation fee to make up the difference the owners spent and moves.

I think the yotes team is probably similar to an expansion team in terms of assets. Tons of picks.

Cooley. Crouse. Keller. Not too bad.

Oh wow it actually happens like that. I’m impressed with myself

 

[Kimota]

They are dead, Jim.

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

Sorry Coyote fans. This really sucks.

According to a quick google search, the population of Wyoming (as of 2022) was under 600,000.

There's a reason there's somewhat of a "dead zone" for pro sports in the US.....South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming combining for zero teams. There's just no appetite for it, I guess.

On top of that a quarter of that live within reasonable driving distance to Denver.

I think Grizzlies is too perfect of a name, but whatever it will be, it should be wildlife or nature. Also, I would love their colours to be white, light blue, and some mountain green. Like the Seattle Thunderbirds white jersey, but without the dark greenish-blue and the grey.

I like both of these logos, but without all the dark blue and navy in them.

Thankfully not all of us Leaf fans are as gullible as him/her

To be fair, without Bettman`s obsession with NHL in Arizona, this saga would have ended years earlier. And even now, NHL promised return to Arizona if they build proper ice hockey arena within 5 yrs? That is quite astonishing, when NHL was never a success story in Arizona...

Meruelo isn't the type to just hand over his property for nothing.

 

[syz]

Meruelo is probably going to take the money and run but Bettman won't quit until he gets another team there. The league may get passed by the WNBA in the process but he'll make sure there's hockey in Arizona.
