Arizona Coyotes appear to be officially moving
It seems like this has been inevitable for a very long time, but despite the rumors that the ownership group had a plan in place. It now appears that the Arizona Coyotes have officially lost their battle to try and keep the Coyotes in the desert.
Earlier today rumors began to leak that the league was working on a schedule for next season, which did not have the Coyotes in Arizona. Now it seems that things are going even further as Frank Seravalli is officially reporting that the Coyotes are on their way out.
BREAKING: Sources tell @DailyFaceoff- NHL, Arizona Coyotes & Smith Entertain. Grp have made significant progress on the framework of an agreement to relocate #Yotes to Salt Lake City, Utah.
#NHL memo updated Governors today.
NOT done. Many layers and lawyers. Much work to do.
It finally seems this dark chapter in the NHL is over.
Sources say #Yotes players have been informed that something of a "verbal" agreement is in place to relocate to Salt Lake City, but we've received pushback on that characterization of talks.
Nonetheless, this is well down the track. Let's see what happens next.
