What’s the latest on the Coyotes future in Arizona? Could the Coyotes relocate to Salt Lake City? What’s the timeline on whether Arizona would leave or stay another year? If the Coyotes are relocated, does that completely end NHL hockey in Arizona? TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss how real of a possibility it is that the Coyotes move to Salt Lake City and details the latest on the situation.

First also Kucherov for Hart. Coyotes might be done for tho lol (for now)
It's the End of an Error.
After nearly 30 years of being an Epic Failure in Arizona it is time to close this embarrassment of the NHL.
If this wasnt true they woulda denied it not “no comment”. I hope one day i can find someone dedicated to me like Gary is to Arizona. If Matthews wasnt from here he wouldnt give 2 fucks but bcuz of 1 players out of tens of thousands its a viable market 🙄
Missing out on Matthews, Missing Out on both Matthew and Brady, a Coyotes legend sons by 1 pick doomed them.
SALT LAKE CITY…… Here WE come
If I was Salt Lake City and seeing how well expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle did, I would rather have my own expansion team and have an expansion draft rather than acquire a relocated team from Arizona.
Phoenix resident here. I don't want any more Tax revenue subsidizing pro sports. Let the owners fund their own venues.
This makes me wonder would Salt Lake City be better off having an expansion team and drafting players through an expansion draft than by acquiring a relocated team from Arizona?
It would be so sad to see the Yotes leaving behind their rich history, filled with legendary players, iconic moments, an almost sold-out Mullet Arena and an almost deep connection with their fans. Hoorah Utah!!!
The closer we get to next season without an official purchase increases the likelihood of Arizona staying put. Would be totally imprudent relocating a team if the team has not been purchased and moved by summer.
Its about time this joke of hockey in Arizona came to an End 😢
Yes please move this garbage franchise already. Enough of this nonsense. It’s been Bettman’s 28 yr mistake. It’s never worked and it’s time to go. I cannot wait to never see that garbage uniform again. Like the second version of Atlanta, I was so happy to see that franchise and their garbage uniforms out of the NHL. (Not that the current Winnipeg primary uniforms are any better, but hockey belongs in Canada)
I bet all the players around the league hate the idea of going to utah
Insane that there's not a second team in Southern Ontario!
Swarm
Hive
Yetis
Snowcats
Zephyrs
There are some really good unique and regionally inspired names already catching steam. I hope the Coyotes name stays in AZ, like the Browns in Cleveland. I’m favoring the Hive or Zephyrs, names you don’t see anywhere else with meaning to Utah. While unrealistic, I also think that Stormin’ Mormons may be too good to pass up…
Even if the Coyotes get the land, it will be 3 more years in the dinky arena. If there are ANY public funds, including new roads or whatever will not fly with the Arizona public, so it would actually be Phoenix voting on this, and they all tracked Tempe, and nobody will vote for it. So, every single dollar has to come from the Owner who regularly doesn't pay his bills.
Leaf fan logic: Hockey in Arizona is stupid. But hey, did you see that Mathews goal last night?
The Utah Skinwalkers….😎
The Utah Roadrunners? Are there roadrunners in Utah? Idk.
Thirty-two teams are enough in the NHL or any major sports league. I would hate to see expansion above thirty-two.
Hardly anyone there cares about NHL hockey. Give up Gary.
If it's true? R.I.P. The Yotes! & Everyone Please Welcome The Storming Mormons!!
UTAH RAPTORS (NHL)
NEW MEXICO ALIENS (AHL)
