Patel Bure Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I’m wondering if it would make sense to relocate the Coyotes to a 2nd tier city where they would be THE team. No playing second fiddle to the NBA, NFL, or MLB. A place where fans would be so appreciative of “joining the big boys” that they worship the teams’ every move. Kind of like the Roughriders in Saskatchewan. Wondering if a team like Boise old make sense? Or something even less extreme like Green Bay where the fans are already known to be crazy (in a good way). An NHL franchise in Green Bay would obviously play second fiddle to the Packers, but they’d be the only other game in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be tricky since even without a major sports team, the city would still follow college football. That said I guess Omaha, Nebraska or Louisville, KY seems to fit your description 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Bettman never paid out of the leagues’ pocketbook to prop up Atlanta like he did with Arizona. Allowing the Coyotes to move would basically be like admitting to the owners that was a mistake. Awkward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBH1926 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Interest for hockey in Arizona is about as high as getting colonoscopy done on weekly basis. Move the team to Canada, hockey is not even the second fiddle in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they should have sold that team to Vince McMann they could play in the Thunder Dome they could have Doan in the Dome they could have Hockey/wrasslin double headers Shane is only 44 he could still go another 15 years in the ring the Coyotes would become Americas hockey team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Arizona was so upset with the big trade for Loui Eriksson that they decided to boot the team out of town. Damn, that's harsh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

grandmaster Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 This team has lost crazy amounts of money since it’s first inception. Bettman has strangely fought hard in keeping the team there and for a time had the NHL foot the bill when a previous owner went bankrupt. There has to be a reason. Something that we don’t know about, a dirty secret of some sort. Nothing else really makes sense….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
