Friedman Reveals The Relocation Frontrunner

Today, Elliotte Friedman revealed some major news on the 32 Thoughts Podcast regarding the Arizona Coyotes and a potential relocation destination.

Friedman said the following roughly 29 minutes into the podcast:

"The shadow of Salt Lake City looms large in Arizona" - Elliotte Friedman

Friedman has now confirmed the frontrunner for a Coyotes relocation. Arizona now has a few years to find a new location before their deal with Arizona State runs out and if it does before the Coyotes can find a new home in Arizona, they will likely have to move.

Salt Lake City is a prime destination for a new team. While many have speculated on Houston, Kansas City, Sacramento, and even Quebec City, Friedman has now confirmed that Salt Lake City is more viable than any of the other locations.

Salt Lake City currently has two teams, the Utah Jazz and Salt Lake City FC. There is a massive hole for hockey in the market and the Jazz owner has made it clear that he would like a team.

We will now wait and see if Arizona can get a deal done but if they cannot, we are looking at them relocating, likely to Utah.
