I don’t blame Glendale for finally playing hardball in a public manner with this current iteration of a terrible organization. The only thing I blame them for is thinking it would work out in the first place. Although different people were running the city and team at that point. The constant is Bettman, who will never take Quebec seriously even with Winnipeg 2.0 as a comparison. And the figure in the linked article about the Coyotes generating $5 revenue per fan vs. Edmonton’s $43 is astonishing.
But I’m not saying the Coyotes should relocate. I’ve been part of a small but loyal fanbase blamed for the ills of terrible ownership. I hope it works out and they can privately finance an arena closer to their viable fan base.

It would be ashame to lose the Coyotes. I hope they relocate to an area like Tempe.

I'm trying to care, but this franchise has just beaten me down for too many years. It is what it is.

Suns are my Kryptonite!
I'd take the Yotes here in Laveen. I'm sure we could put them by the Casino off the 202 here by my house!!!
Someone get this man's number to Meruelo!

The NHL already has a successful franchise in the desert. Move the Dogs to Portland or Houston.

Playoff hockey is absolutely awesome. We just gotta get an arena. Going to the games at America West was good times.

They have to do something. The west side was a horrible choice for weekday hockey, and it still is.
Horrible choice for the Cardinals too, but many of us will make the trek over to Nowheresville, AZ 10 times a season.
Big difference between 10 games on a Sunday vs 41 mostly on weeknights.
Not even remotely the same
