Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXVIII: Post Free Agent Frenzy

[Lindberg]

Can't believe we brought in Kevin f***ing Hayes. I think at this point I'd rather have MacDonald back, at least the team didn't try and revolve around him.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Texas doesn’t deserve a 2nd team.

Don't make me have more Calgaries.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Michigan is going to be loaded next year. As far as NHL talent goes there isn’t a roster with more of it than them in the country.

 

[ajgoal]

Don't make me have more Calgaries.

Flyers are Calgary Southeast.

 

[kudymen]

Maybe Glendale should just paste Glendale city ads all over the Coyotes jerseys. Untapped commercial potential

 

[Kelmitchell2]

if I'm the NHL I'd be really interested in a second Texas market team.

I'm close to Houston now with my new job so I'd love this!

Zing....

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Hayes is gonna be 1C and captain after this year isn’t he?

yup, when the roster is a waste land of old dogs and league minimum garbage..

G, Coots and who knows else will be gone...

 

[deeshamrock]

Zing....

Have never been able to see why the NHL is so stubborn about staying in AZ. It failed, lick your wounds and move on, as the team is in the Central, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Houston and Quebec would be good options.

But it sounds like they are still planning on moving somewhere else in AZ

 

[Magua]

The Kachina must be preserved. This is all that matters.

I go to more Coyote games than any other team as pre pandemic it was cheap to catch flights. Games are cheap, free parking but it takes forever to get there from Mesa.

a move to Tempe or the east side would likely work. That’s where the fan base lives. It never made sense to play in Glendale

Never been there have you Rebel. Take a trip to Tucson. Even cheaper to watch the roadrunners and grab a Sonorron Hot dog.

Im sure they are great cities, but the NHL is N E V E R going to be successful in Arizona.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Hockey is generally more sustainable all things equal in the northern parts of the US. But even then most are going to struggle with on & off the ice mishaps that have been going on for most of the tenure there in Phoenix/Arizona.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I think the package Gostisbehere brings will really turn hockey around down there.

My In laws own a place in Mesa and we are down there twice a year and usually catch a handful of Coyotes games each year.

There is a zero percent chance the Coyotes can be anything but a money pit in any part of the greater Phoenix area.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Gotta hand it to Glendale to completely take the wind out of the sails of Arizona-raised Matthews being named to the cover of NHL 22.

Without the Coyotes, there is no Matthews in the NHL and Glendale couldn't care less.

It's possible Michigan could be an Eichelless buffalo team

He will take it from a ghost town to ghost’s town.

[deeshamrock]

always liked him, best of luck to him after an amazing career

 

[CSKA1974]

Much respect to him! I've always admired him despite him being a Ranger. His retirement is expected, however. One should not be in the business of stopping 100mph pucks when one is on blood thinners.
Best of luck to him with his health and future plans.
