ButtCraig is WRONG
Pretty sure there's plenty of unpublished information
But man that sucks hard and I'm feeling hard for the players and the staff, everyone whose workplace is in change
"Nothing negative about this." Huh? Doesn't feel like a win for Yotes fans that've been dicked around by a negligent owner for years — and now don't even have a team anymore.
The actual problem with the Coyotes is the amount of clowns who have owned this team. I'm okay with the NHL trying this market again in a few years, but they need a stable plan with an arena situation resolved.
Somehow this organization lost money on their lease in Glendale even if they were at 100% capacity.
Then they couldn't figure out who should own the team. Then the league owned the team. Then there was no arena property available. Then two more ownership changes.
My feelings on this is: This should've been resolved years ago one way or another. I would've preferred this team to stay in Arizona (specifically Scottsdale or North Phoenix), but it was WAY too late for that in 2024. This is a situation that should've been resolved in 2014 when it was Glendale, new property, or Seattle.
October 7, 2014 should've been the cutoff date.
Jay is right. Craig is so wrong. Embarrassing.
Not Craig asking what Gary Bettman has to do with the situaion 😂🎉 What a joke.
Yet another soft take by Mr. Button.
Arizona is losing a team and he’s calling it a win. SMH. This situation is another stain on the Gary’s NHL
that was such a heated debate wow 🙄 Almost resorted to fisticuffs .
Agree with Jay. This is all on Bettman. The Coyotes should have been moved years ago. It’s never worked and I’m glad this garbage team is finally relocating and we never get to see those garbage eye sore uniforms and logo again. Bye. I really wish it was to a Canadian market, Quebec City, but I’ll take Salt Lake just for this stupidity to end. Also the NHL does not need anymore expansion and Phoenix should never get another crack at a team. Stop the insanity.
Obviously, this sucks for the players and the staff, but this is such a lateral move by the NHL. No one benefits here. There is probably next to no Utah hockey market, and we are going to face the same problem in 5 years.
Take a shot at at least another BC team or Quebec or Northern States before trying to "expand the market"
The market has spoken. Hockey is becoming so small due to playoffs formats, suspensions for defending yourself, shittiest marketing of players, poor schedule. It never stops. Time to look in the mirror
Never disagreed with anything Craig has said an I’m not saying I do now but how he handled this situation with jay was kinda weird, ngl jay was just trying to connect with his point and have a civil conversation Craig kinda escalated it jay was spitting facts….. I HATE to say this but that statement sounds corporate as fuckkkkkk 😂😂from Craig
The deal isn't done, but the players have been notified that they will be moving? I'm confused.
The owner bought the Coyotes for $300 million while they still had a home, but due to incompetence or worse, he lost that home. He will now sell the team for $1 billion, and is now granted first dibs on a new franchise. It's laughable!
Can the Jets have their historical stats and records now that the team has been moved again
Button is clueless on this one.
Arizona franchise isn’t a joke the ownership is the joke
Button looking for a GM job or something? Wow dude could you kiss that ass any harder?
great heated debate! love this stuff.
Quebec City offered to buy Coyotes too????
Why is Craig Button given a prominent spot on a program like this one to repeatedly spout such total nonsense🤔?!
Jay does not always do hinself a lot of favors in these kinds of studio exchanges, but here he spoke with his facts very much to the fore and in a way that made clear both his empathy for the Coyotes' players, staffs and fans on the one hand AND his antipathy for and exasperation with the team's current owner, Mr. Merruolo, on the other. Respect to him for doing so👍👏!
As a long-time Red Wings fan, I'd like wish hockey fans in Arizona, the very best of luck in the years ahead…hopefully, by around 2028, you will once again have a local NHL team to cheer on and support, there, ideally one rhat has no connection whatsoever with the current Coyotes' ownership.
This is good TV!!!!! Jay is right tho…
So one year ago Tempe said no to the new development. That would have taken 5 years to develop so why does a one year difference on staying or relocation even matter. Betthead screwed this up royally. Jay is 100% correct
