Leaked information confirms even more embarrassing news for the Arizona Coyotes
The Arizona Coyotes are set to move the ASU Multipurpose Arena in Tempe Arizona for the foreseeable future. The league has tried to overcome every hurdle including the 4,700 seat capacity. The NHLPA has shared their disdain for the idea due to the amount of lost revenue.
The news released today by Katie Strange is likely to go a long way to upsetting the NHLPA even further. Apparently the Coyotes have been forced to sign a morality clause in their new deal:
According to the document, if the Coyotes or Meruelo become the subject of adverse publicity, contempt, scandal or ridicule for violating "widely held principles of public morality, failing to conduct its business affairs with a high degree of integrity and honesty and/or failing to act as a good corporate citizen," Arizona State can get out of its deal with the Coyotes.
But that's not even the worst part of the deal. In the deal the Coyotes have agreed to sacrifice revenue for all of the following items:
Any alcohol or beer advertisements must be approved by Arizona State.
Arizona State maintains the right to object to any advertisement that is «not in good taste or is otherwise not in compliance» with ASU's rules.
Arizona State will receive the revenue from naming rights for the arena.
The Coyotes will not be permitted to sell any temporary advertising that is a competitor or in the same category as whomever ASU sells naming rights to.
In-ice advertising will be a revenue source for Arizona State, and the Coyotes aren't allowed to modify the look of the ice surface � including the Arizona State logo at center ice � on broadcasts to protect ASU's permanent advertisers in the building. It is noted that this doesn't and shouldn't impact opposing broadcasts filming at ASU.

Essentially this deal prohibits the Coyotes from putting their own logo on center ice, generating revenue from advertisements and approve or decline any requests made by the Coyotes.
These continually released pieces of information just continue to show how far the Coyotes have fallen from an NHL team.
