That seems like a nice slap in the face to the Coyotes organization.....

Zamboni Posted August 19, 2021 Report Posted August 19, 2021 So correct me if I’m wrong…. The Coyotes will play this upcoming season at Gila River Arena. But after the season, they need to find another arena or and/or city. Yikes!

They should've built an arena in Scottsdale, or even Tempe/Mesa area. 1
Justin C Posted August 19, 2021 Report Posted August 19, 2021 Kansas City is a city I would think jumps to the top of the list. Portland would bring in an instant Portland vs Seattle rivalry. Does Quebec have an arena ready to go?

Doohicksie Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 I think the Dallas Stars could use an in-state rival.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 I really do not think that the Coyotes are leaving Arizona. They will move back to Phoenix, which is were they should have stayed in the first place.

I read somewhere that the current owner said he wanted a new arena in the Tempe area when he bought them in 2019 If he doesn't want to move them out of Arizona, its most likely they just go back to the arena in Phoenix that they played in before moving to Gila River

Yes, the arena in Quebec which holds just under 18k is done and open, its currently been the home for one of the Junior teams. The only reason I don't see them as being at the top of the list is it would mean re-alignment again right after they just finished balancing out the East/West by adding Seattle. An article yesterday list 4 options as Phoenix, Quebec City, Houston (4th largest city, has an arena an a potential owner looking for a team), and Hamilton which I don't see anymore because they mention Balsillie taking another shot at relocating the Coyotes there but I don't know if the "Blackberry Guy' has the money anymore to do something like this anymore. 8 hours ago, Hoss said: Houston seems like it's been waiting for a relocation for some time now so I could see it ...

apuszczalowski Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 Lundqvist is announcing his retirement, does this mean he is signing for league minimum in Buffalo this weekend? 1
Justin C Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 If they did go to Quebec, I would hope the NHL moved to a division format similar to the NFL with 8 divisions of four: Quebec, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa Buffalo, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh NY Rangers, NY Islanders, New Jersey, Washington Carolina, Nashville, Florida, Tampa Bay Columbus, Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago Vegas, Colorado, St. Louis, Dallas Anaheim, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg 2 1

That article was saying Balsillie could go after them and give it another try to move them to Hamilton like he tried years ago, but I don't know if he has the money anymore. That was during the heyday of Blackberry being one of the big smart phone manufacturers. They aren't what they used to be and I don't think he has all that spending cash anymore......
Digger Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 The Calgary Flames inked a pair of defencemen on Friday with new deals for Nikita Zadorov and Juuso Valimaki. Zadorov agreed to a one-year, $3.75 million contract, while Valimaki re-upped for two years and $3.1 million. 1

Both Buffalo and Toronto would demand massive amounts of annual money in compensation so I don't see it.
Eleven Posted August 21, 2021 Report Posted August 21, 2021 I desperately need some hockey or at least some hockey news. Not a team/arena situation, not rampant speculation about a holdout player, not a sexual assault investigation, but real, actual hockey news. 16 hours ago, Digger said: The Calgary Flames inked a pair of defencemen on Friday with new deals for Nikita Zadorov and Juuso Valimaki.
