The Salt Lake City Polys….I've got an idea for a logo.
Bring back Quebec and Hartford. And promote the Flint Firebirds to the NHL!!
All Gary's follies will continue to destroy what little rep the NHL Had. RIP gary.
Apparently Arizona was promised an expansion team by Bettman, wouldn’t you think that he / the NHL would learn by now that Phoenix is not a good market?
Oh, wait I forgot about Atlanta…..
SLC should be excited, this is a good young team going forward
I have been to all the Frozen Fury games played at the Delta Center and the sights line arent bad for hockey. They need to make renovations on the ends, and Ryan Smith has said he is happy to do this.
5:50
So… genuine question. Do you just not know American geography, the fact that SLC has always been in the middle of a desert itself, or the fact that coyotes are as ubiquitous in Utah as they are in other southwestern states? That doesn't mean they should take the name or branding or anything, your reasoning is just ignorant honestly.
I wish when the North Stars moved to Dallas they would have left the name here in Minnesota
Utah Jazz does not work either
There are too many NHL teams now. There doesn't need to be any further expansion. Especially in the US.
This whole situation is rich people playing games with each other and the poor fans of the yotes pay the price, I feel bad for them or any fans that lose their team of billionaire egos
Going off of the bee theme they could be the… Salt Lake City Swarm
The arena could be called the "hive".
Large parts of Utah are pretty similar to Arizona, so the Coyotes name and colors would absolutely fit. The main thing is I think Ryan Smith would prefer to build a new branding instead of piggybacking off an existing one, while Meruelo would prefer to keep the name in Arizona so he can at the very least save face after selling the team. It works out for all parties that way.
Or the current owner is just saying he's going to bid on the land, but backs out of the auction after the move to Salt Lake City is confirmed.
Pro leagues should not go beyond 32 teams
32 teams is enough!! Arizona should not be awarded a team ever again!!
Come the day of the land auction, June 27th, I DO NOT THINK ALEX MERUELO WILL SHOW UP TO BUY THE PROPERTY. HE'LL BE A NO SHOW and Coyotes fans will receive the final kick in the nuts!
Should the NHL ever desire to expand, ALEX MERUELO MUST NOT BE APART OF A NEW TEAM! HE'S SCREWED THE FANS HERE LONG ENOUGH!
Tears are gonna be 10x sweeter when the coyotes come back
This guy will never build an arena. He’s always been looking for someone else to pay. Bet he sells off the exclusivity rights within a couple of years.
Sad that Arizona is losing their NHL team. Glad that the Coyotes name will at least stay in AZ, the name is definitely unique to Arizona..
If they do end up continuing expansion it should be quebec ATL, atlanta MET, houston CEN, arizona PAC.
As an Arizona hockey fan, I’d love to see a hockey team in Az.
Spoiler Alert: Atlanta gets the other expansion team.
Utah Yetis appears to be the favorite so far.
SLC is the favorite to get the MLB expansion team in the West. Nashville in the East. MLB schedule does not overlap much with the NHL and NBA seasons, so no big deal.
Big prediction is that after Alex Murello sells the Coyotes to the NHL the NHL will sell the team to Matt Ishbia and he keeps them in Phoenix and Ryan Miller will get a expansion or relocation team.
If they do expansion, they would need to figure that out ASAP, like which other city gets a team. Unless they do exactly like the Browns and the new Coyotes join as the 33rd team, alone, and then figure out a 34th team later on. (The Browns were the 31st team, then 3 years later, the Texans joined).
At this point unless the NHL plans to expand to Houston first, I couldn’t care if there is an Arizona 2.0 or Atlanta 3.0.
My guess is that if the Arizona land deal doesn't work out, NHL expansion doesn't happen. The current NHL talent pool barely justifies having 32 teams.
Gary really wants to see Auston back in Arizona in his waning years.
Let me guess, more renderings?
The thing that doesn't work with Phoenix getting an expansion club is the possibility they will be a contending team, but Utah will have the work in progress team. Yes, they will have a solid base to build from but they will be a year or two from being a playoff contender. That's also assuming several west teams go into rebuild at the same time too.
They cant even pay their arena or hotel bills.
this had been a useless venture from day one
2 crap worthless markets…Bettman screwing our canadian brothers and sisters of Quebec
No way the Yotes are ready to go in 5 years. They couldn't even pay bills in their old building and bill from hotels this current season. I'd bet money on them never having a team again. Good riddance
5:29 Is this supposed to be a double arena, one for basketball/hockey and one for soccer/football? If built, it could help Phoenix's chances of getting an MLS franchise…
