0 chance. That is just another nhl broken promise to az. just like all the other broken promises made by or on behalf of yotes. Yotes had a nice arena in glendale and blew it. nhl-just go away forever.
In all fairness, saying that the Mullet Arena is worse than the one at the University of North Dakota is not a shocking statement.
The Ralph Engelstad Arena is better than a good handful of some NHL arenas. The facilities and what's available to the players is top notch!
I'm not a big fan of Spittin Chiclets, but they do have a great tour video of the Ralph that was posted recently. It's a 20+ year old arena that still looks like new!

FYI… The Ralph at University of North Dakota is an amazing facility…from a fan perspective it’s better than a bunch of NHL arenas… and the playever facilities are truly top notch.
I'm sorry, but after nearly 30 years, multiple owners (including the NHL) and yes, multiple arenas, it is ridiculous the NHL would (a) go right back and (b) do so by way of forced expansion.
I don’t care if the previous owner retained the rights to the logos colors & uniforms they won’t get an arena and won’t be on the slated expansion the NHL wants to do which i think they are fine at 32 teams.
Not likely from what i can tell. So i looked into this, but past ownership is really to blame. Listen, to anyone that has a business or knows how this works. They literally just pushed everything off until the last minute with no long term strategy or pay off. No wonder theyre moving. Given more time and planning, scottdale couldve worked, but they completely ruined the relationship with the fans there. I dont see it happening again. You have to have a longterm business plan. They were only interested in throwing a bandaid on an open wound that still needs closed.
Quebec built a new arena why don't they have a team?? Now the Coyotes know how Nordiques Whalers and Thashers fans feel Quebec should get a team before phoenix
1) Why would Coyote ownership take the risk that they don't get an expansion team?
2) What makes the NHL think Arizona would be more willing down the line to help the same owner they won't help now?
3) Why wouldn't Ryan Young just put in for the expansion team?(This one, I get, since asking for expansion would mean more competition for that team from cities like Atlanta, Houston, Quebec, etc, but it would also give them more time to brand their new team and build a new NHL/NBA quality arena)
Great, there are more deserved untapped market in USA, if they want to tap the former market might as well go to Canada like QC
USA expansion teams better be in an untapped market like Houston and KC, former market like Atlanta might be better as a last resort and/or the market itself put an effort on getting team

I prey to god the NHL doesn’t make another mistake by giving Arizona an expansion team. JUST GIVE QUEBEC CITY ITS TEAM BACK
If Salt Lake messes this up and doesn't go with 'The Stormin' Mormons' imma be pissed.
They were last in attendance when the team was contending

Definitely "erroring" on the side of something.
People keep saying the phrase Coyotes fans im over here just wondering who the fuck are they talking about
Utah has two professional teams. The Jazz and Real Salt Lake (MLS)
I don’t care if the previous owner retained the rights to the logos colors & uniforms they won’t get an arena and won’t be on the slated expansion the NHL wants to do which i think they are fine at 32 teams.
Hmm..a group that got evicted, don't pay their hotel bills…I vote NO..
NHL is not excited moving from market with 6million to 1.5 million market in SLC.
I am so Sad for Arizona Coyotes
Phoenix will be NHL Team number 33 and should put a team in the Eastern Conference for number 34 maybe Atlanta,GA,Hamilton,ON or Quebec City.
If anyone dared outbid on the land auction from getting team again to Arizona they will be hated pariah.
Atlanta-and-Houston-get-them

They don't deserve an expansion team no more NHL in Phoenix
Our WHL team draws better than the Yotes
Quebec built a new arena why don't they have a team?? Now the Coyotes know how Nordiques Whalers and Thashers fans feel Quebec should get a team before phoenix
It's not gonna happen. This owner is kind of a goober. Hockey is dead in the Grand Canyon State.
I have so many questions;
1) Why would Coyote ownership take the risk that they don't get an expansion team?
2) What makes the NHL think Arizona would be more willing down the line to help the same owner they won't help now?
3) Why wouldn't Ryan Young just put in for the expansion team?(This one, I get, since asking for expansion would mean more competition for that team from cities like Atlanta, Houston, Quebec, etc, but it would also give them more time to brand their new team and build a new NHL/NBA quality arena)
So, yeah……
Houston, Quebec and Atlanta should get a shot at an expansion team before Arizona.
If they failed the land auction, zero chance
Great, there are more deserved untapped market in USA, if they want to tap the former market might as well go to Canada like QC
USA expansion teams better be in an untapped market like Houston and KC, former market like Atlanta might be better as a last resort and/or the market itself put an effort on getting team
Imagine if the new Winnipeg Jets were to move to Phoenix?! Oh God would that suck so badly! 😂 L.O.L.!
