McBackup Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) 9 minutes ago, 24K PureCool said: They will move cause there is a willing buyer and arena ready in Quebec City. That is Bettman's last choice but still a choice better than staying in a quagmire in ASU. Only way they stay is if a new owner asked to wait a year for renovations to get their arena nhl ready. They are not going to move to Quebec just because they have an open arena. If they were okay waiting multiple years in Mullett Arena already, they’re not going to pack up and leave to a market they are not sold on just because they were aware might fail failed. They clearly had contingencies in place. Edited May 17, 2023 by McBackup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I think they will move to Toronto and Toronto will have 2 teams, just like New York. Then Auston Matthews can sign with the Toronto Coyotes and still stay in Toronto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one thing to stay in ASU knowing you will have a permanent hime in 3 or 4 years and completely another staying an extra 3 or 4 years woth huge revenue loses just cause the nhl didn't get the perfect deal. This is business, you don't sacrifice hundred of millions of dollar just for hope. They will go to Qubec of all other options fall through cause despite not being a large American TV market, it is still a Canadian market with pretty much guaranteed stability. We ain't talking about Saskatoon here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 They will move to Houston and to the 17,800 seat Toyota Center. They will move this summer and start playing in Houston next season. The Houston Coyotes. Book it... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) I believe it took the transition between Atlanta and Winnipeg about less than 4 weeks. Good chance these are Arizona’s final days. If they move to Quebec, I can totally see Detroit moving back to the West and play in the central division. Edited May 17, 2023 by Odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 This is good news for Vancouver. The new owners in Houston will want to build up their team quickly, so might want to take some of our core players like Garland, Myers, Beauvillier and maybe even OEL. OEL could be the new face of the franchise really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said they have 3 or 4 year deal in ASU so no rush. Forget about 3 or 4 years. Just losing revenue difference between Quebec and ASU and pr for a year with no guarantees of moving to say Houston is a very dumb business move.

Coyotes in theory could play where the Suns play but their owner want no part in the nhl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That logo is clip art status but they should definitely go with the Aeros as the team name. Some pretty good history there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
