Could the Coyotes relocate to Salt Lake City?



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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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 🙄

  3. 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.

  4. Phoenix resident here. I don't want any more Tax revenue subsidizing pro sports. Let the owners fund their own venues.

  5. 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?

  6. 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!!!

  7. 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.

  8. 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)

  9. 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…

  10. 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.

  11. Thirty-two teams are enough in the NHL or any major sports league. I would hate to see expansion above thirty-two.
