Suns are my Kryptonite!
THat's supposedly the rumor for that scenario.So, if the team does in fact leave for good for Utah and we get an expansion team - would the name Coyotes stay in Arizona? Utah Coyotes wouldn't make much sense, IMHO.

It wouldn't beat Trump's book for unbelievability!xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
It's contingent on our Billionaire securing the land and being able to build an arena.I doubt Arizona will be offered an expansion team. Quebec, Houston & Kansas City are the favorites. Plus, there is no arena for an expansion team.
I fear that Arizona was given ample opportunity to prove to being a hockey state and we didn’t do enough to warrant an expansion team. Yes, various owners screwed this up but the league doesn’t care about that.It's contingent on our Billionaire securing the land and being able to build an arena.
Finally. The NHL has tried way too hard to shoehorn the NHL into Phoenix. I’m sad to see them go, but hockey is unsustainable in the Valley, especially when no one cares about the product
It's worse. They will give us an expansion team if the arena is built so hockey in the desert again but without all the home grown talent.
Apparently the majority of hockey fans live on the east side. It is a horrible commute to get to the weekday games. It works for the Cardinals as their game are usually on Sundays, thus avoiding all the traffic problems.
What's wrong with the arena in Glendale? Used to be Jobing.com arena. I know the Coyotes were pushed out but that was a great arena for hockey. I saw a bunch of games there in the early 2000's. It's kind of sitting empty after a horrible game of chicken was played with the Coyotes over the lease, I believe. I can kind of see why the Yotes never returned but why not a new team? Renovate it and update it.
That's why he has funding already. It will be state of the art since it is eyed for one of possibly TWO Olympic bids. Utah wants the Olympics again pretty bad. My Sister in Law was there for the last one, and she said the parties she went to there were epic!SLC is also ramping up for another winter Olympic bid, so there could be good sentiment for an arena
I get Chris, but there is a lot to like in Utah in general - I've always enjoyed my time there
Utah CrackersUtah will change the name. It should be the Utah Polygamist. Just embrace the embarrassment that your state is
Show us where Utah hurt you.I feel bad for our players. Who the f wants to live in Utah
This - nobody wants to drive to the west side on a consistent basis.Apparently the majority of hockey fans live on the east side. It is a horrible commute to get to the weekday games. It works for the Cardinals as their game are usually on Sundays, thus avoiding all the traffic problems.
Youngest state per capita. Should be a lot of energy at those home games.Show us where Utah hurt you.
I know East side people keep saying this. Those of us on the West and south sides suck it up when we go to cactus league games, etc. There's fans all over. That's why I am more in favor of a centralized location. Ideally all the sports franchises would be in Laveen where I live, LOL! Aside from Tempe evidently, most people that are sports fans want the games to be easily accessible to where they live.This - nobody wants to drive to the west side on a consistent basis.
Been thinking about this and so we really want the stench of the Coyotes brand and logo if the deign too give us an expansion franchise? I say flush the whole thing and start fresh…even though I am doubting AZ is really in a position for expansionSo, if the team does in fact leave for good for Utah and we get an expansion team - would the name Coyotes stay in Arizona?

The west side thing is utter BS. It’s false logic as you point out. People in other cities travel just as far in worse traffic for games and are happy to do so.I know East side people keep saying this.
