Reports surface on just how disrespectful the Coyotes ownership is

The Arizona Coyotes organization should be ashamed of how they have handled the team relocating to Salt Lake City, not only because of how the players and staff started to find out through social media, but because of how disrespectful they have been from the start of this news leaking.

According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, there was no plans to tell the players that the team would be relocating next season, until general manager Bill Armstrong was backed into a corner and they demanded answers; take a look.



How do you plan on keeping this kind of thing from the players playing for your team? It is without a doubt one of the most disrespectful things that could've been done at this point. Treat your players with respect, treat them like the adults they are. One thing has been made clear: the Coyotes ownership doesn't care- they never did.

To top it all off, another former Coyotes reporter posted on X that Arizona actually threw out Shane jersey retirement banner and he took it home.



Everyone deserved better in this situation, the players, the staff and most importantly the Arizona Coyotes fans. Everyone was duped by a horrid ownership group that had no intention of actually keeping the team in Arizona. Good riddance, this is a sad situation where everyone feels cheated, lied to and now discarded.
