    Cities that tried to get the Coyotes but failed:

    - Kansas City
    - Hamilton

    - Winnipeg

    - Seattle

    - Quebec City

    - Houston

    - Likely more that I’m forgetting/we don’t know about

    The city that finally got them:

    - Salt Lake City

     

    I think Utah will be a pretty good hockey market, I’m just shocked they were the ones to get it done after so long. I really hate it for the the Coyotes fans… but it was time. It had been time for a while. Maybe they get a second chance down the road and make use of it, or not and they just become Atlanta 2.

     

    Sucks, but it also doesn’t. Yknow?

     

    It comes off to me like Gary Bettman didn't want the team to leave the area, so the goal was to move them to the closest city nearby that had a suitable arena, regardless of whether there was a demand for hockey or not.

     

    Quebec was off the table, no matter how many tens of thousands of fans showed up to support their minor league team. But I was initially surprised Houston was not the chosen destination.

  2. Are there any Coyotes in Utah?

     

    Still, Utah Coyotes and Salt Lake City Coyotes doesn't sound good. Relocation was inevitable. But getting their own identity would be better.

     

    Even their basketball team took New Orleans' identity. Both of their big 4 pro sports teams have a brand that used to belong to someone else.
