      Denver is similar in the sheer number of transplants… but the Avalanche had early success and built up a large and passionate fan base… and even then, when Boston, NYR, Detroit come into town, feels like a third of the arena is away fans.

    For those that want to point out that the Coyotes are at the Cap floor and can’t afford star players, you’re right and they shouldn’t. It doesn’t make sense to get a McDavid or Matthews with this roster, you are just wasting money. Better to build your hockey operations. Draft lots a prospects and develop them properly and when they are reaching their full potential then you spend the money on the roster. Hitting the Cap ceiling should be the indication that you are making a Cup run, if you are not there then you need some Cap room to make those trades, to pick up those free agents needed to make that run. The Coyotes are finally dong the rebuild properly for a cup contender, not hobbled trying to just get to the playoffs. The Arena is the last piece needed for rebuild of the Coyotes.

      The Coyotes got a 20m subsidy from Glendale to stay and a further 200m from the tax payer on top to build the arena in Glendale. If none of that were offered by Glendale the Coyotes would have relocated to either Portland or back to Winnipeg. Sadly the Thrashers would have had to relocate too because they could not find a building, get a subsidy from a struggling Atlanta which was in the process of firing city staff, or stable ownership.

    I think what you'll see up there in NoPho would be a West Houston-like edge city built up there. Meruelo is a developer. He won't tie up all of his money on a money-sump arena. What he'll probably do is organize a much bigger PUD project under the auspices of a Rouse, Gerald Hines, Westfield (who badly need to recover from California mall closures), or other big new urbanist developer. The Coyotes would probably take a minority but significant interest in the whole shebang, and only keep the title and management rights to what they actually need - which is the arena - but as a minority partner the team would make passive income on all the land around it. Typically, infrastructure gets built and paid for by fees on the properties sold within the PUDs as assessments (like Mello-Roos in California), so there is no haggling with Phoenix about that. Water is an issue, and they may have to buy private water rights to get plumbed, but not impossible...I've expressed concern about the market timing of this project, but the idea itself is pretty sound if it resembles anything like what I'm talking about. Certainly better than the mess in Glendale or the NIMBY broads in Tempe...

      I guess that people are supposedly unlikely to choose a rink as a place to spend time and money in that sort of climate, and because of that climate it’s a place without a history and culture of the sport. Compared to other teams that were moved south, this one going from Winnipeg to the desert likely seems like an extreme example.

    I would most like to see the team move to Regina and be Renamed The Thrashers. The original Thrashers are now The Jets and the original Jets are now The Thrashers. Also it's 8 Canadian teams and no more lateral gaps for NHL teams in Canadian provinces. Though from a monetary and geographical standpoint, Salt Lake City makes much more sense, given its proximity to Vegas and Colorado. It's sad for the hockey community in AZ, but meh, they've had a long enough ride and they're are more deserving locations.

    People do not understand or want to understand that "good hockey markets" do not appear out of nowhere. People forget that even within canada the game had to spread and grow to become popular, including with the pro leagues. That takes time and effort and money and the Yotes have not been blessed with ownership that was willing to do so for a long time.
    It's almost never the market itself that is the problem, it is just an excuse by bad ownership to cover their own asses for why they failed. If a team struggling for some time or a team failing in a city meant the market was bad, then well, Quebec City's off the table. Toronto too. And Montreal. All bad hockey markets by that standard.

      you dont understand that the market is always the problem .
      the yotes are failing because fans dont care to see them .
      teams in canada are worth over 2.5 billion dollars .tickets cost 125 for the cheapest seats with a poor view .
      if the yotes cant support their team or build a building because theyre poor .canada has places that could and would support that team .. because hockey is a religion .
      for us its not a casual thing . because of that im ready to snatch up that team and move it .

    So, while this is a good video so far, I haven't finished, but when you started mentioning playoffs appearances, something didn't sound right, so I paused the video to fact-check. So, two major errors in this are as follows: After the 2001-02 season, they qualified for the playoffs in the 2009-10, 2010-11, and the 2011-12 seasons before not making the playoffs, outside the 2019-20 shortened season, to present. It was the 2011-12 season playoffs they made the conference finals, where they got steamrolled by the Kings, like all the other teams the Kings faced in to win the Stanley Cup for the 1st time. Lol, just wanted to put that out there for you, as you're rewriting my Kings history by having the Coyotes not there. Incidentally, it was that playoffs series that is the reason Coyotes fans hate Dustin Brown.😅

Everything has been against this team. Add to the fact the Arizona has been a Fair Weather fan state for as long as I can remember.
    For once, the proposed site is actually relatively easy to get to from any side of the Vally. I have hope that once we have the Bid this will be the end of it. Good young core coming up, there is light at the end ofnthe tunnel. It's dim, but it's there.
