The Arizona Coyotes have been a failing franchise for years. They cannot get fans in the stands, they cannot put a cup calibre team on the ice, hell, they haven't even been a playoff competitor in years.
They are just restarting a rebuild that originally began and failed back in 2014.
This year they're playing in an arena shared with the Arizona State University team, which holds 5,000 people and they still can't fill the building.
Sounds like a successful franchise, right? Wrong.
Sounds like a franchise that should be moving to another city that's desperate for an NHL team, but that now is definitely not going to happen.
The Coyotes brought Bettman in to join them at the Tempe Council meeting that was held tonight, here was a few things that Bettman had to say:
I have a little bit of experience with the Coyotes it's been an interesting ride I don't think anybody can doubt our support.
It will shine a light on Tempe. We will bring league events here, whether it's an All-Star Game or a Draft. That's our commitment to you if this project goes forward.
He also confirmed that if the Arena is approved by the city, he confirms a 30 year non-relocation agreement between the Coyotes and the NHL.
