Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2021 I saw a Coyotes home game once., against the Canucks too, had lower bowl seats, cheap, it was great, although, the Canucks lost. I recall this obnoxious guy a few rows in front of us, looks back, sees us wearing our Canucks jerseys, and asks "So, what the heck is a Canuck anyway?" So, I responded that it's another name for a Canadian. I didn;t want to confuse the guy with the tales of Johnny Canuck. Then he went on this tirade about how much better the beef is in Arizona than anywhere else. Maybe he thought Vancouver is in Alberta? Ahhh Americans... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, or you know the city is just walking away from an arena that is always empty… Does the NHL really think they have leverage here? Just move the damn team already! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMomesso Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Looks like there maybe another type of draft next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24K PureCool Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 They ain't gonna go anywhere. Their owner needs the team to retain his casino's sports betting license. He probably make way more than what he is losing with the Coyotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The article I read made it pretty clear it wasn’t a negotiating tactic. The Coyotes are always behind in their rent even with an incredibly favourable existing deal. My take is to sign Petterson and Hughes to long term contracts if you can because if Arizona moves to a new market and becomes a high revenue team it is going to pop the cap higher faster than expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Just move the team back to Phoenix and have them play in the Footprint Center (terrible arena name, btw). Or just move the team to Houston or Austin Texas. Seems like that's where it's headed... just get it done. NHL has dragged this out long enough. I have buddies who live in Arizona and they've all become Vegas Golden Knights fans because of the tirefire that the Coyotes have been for years.

Way more people and the Winterhawks already have one of the biggest attendants in the WHL and already have a big rivalry with Seattle. The market is there and it makes a ton of sense for the next NHL team to relocate there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin would be neat, but then my two favourite US cities would be our rivals, I'm already having trouble with one. I think it will be Houston.

Well considering his contract will be up before they have to move, I doubt he'll even get offered a contract next off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Arizona Coyotes Statement: Quote GLENDALE, ARIZONA --- "We are disappointed by today's unilateral decision by the City of Glendale to break off negotiations on a multi-year lease extension agreement. We are hopeful that they will reconsider a move that would primarily damage the small businesses and hard-working citizens of Glendale. We remain open to restarting good-faith negotiations with the City. "Most importantly, the Coyotes are one hundred percent committed to finding a long-term arena solution here in Arizona, and nothing will shake our determination to do what is right for our organization, residents of the entire Valley and, most important, our fans." - Xavier A.

-AJ- Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 If they need to leave Arizona, I'd say Houston, Quebec, or Kansas city would be options. As a Canuck fan, I'd prefer either Quebec for more Canadian representation or a Western team to maintain the east-west balance and help our travel schedule.

Mustard Tiger Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 That's a shame, I really enjoyed the surrounding area.

When I lived there in 2001 I could go to a game for $10 bucks and the arena would still be half empty. Stop trying to prop up a failed experiment and move the team to a Hockey city already. 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 Coors foam fingers and t-shirts for 4.....$50.00 USD at a frigging gas n go outside of Glendale for filling up a full tank. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Forget all this nonsense trying to figure out a market that would work in NA and just get a team established in Europe already. We know for a fact that Bettman wants the NHL to be a global brand and this is a perfect opportunity to take an existing team and ship them over there after next season. Couldn't be any more complicated than trying to figure out two seasons worth of covid protocols for the entire league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
